Crystal Cove State Park is a hidden California gem that will soon become one of your favorite places to be! This amazing state park is home to an awesome cove beach, amazing hiking trails with coastal views all around, and the coolest tide pools for viewing sea creatures up close and personal. The rock formations and coves are seriously out of this world. Take some time and explore the historic district as you make your way to the waters. Go snorkeling at Pelican Point or Reef Point to get a chance to see the amazing dolphins and stingrays! The water was so clear and a stingray legit swam right beside us. I CAN NOT MAKE THIS UP! The views are phenomenal. I've never seen so many beautiful organisms like I did at the tide pool here. They even have their own Crystal Cove Shake Shack! If that isn't a sign to run to Crystal Cove State Park..I don't know what is!
