Corona del Mar Home At The Beach, For Sale!

It's home to beautiful people and beautiful beaches - and nestled right on the coast of Newport.

Now, I could rave about Corona del Mar's nightlife or even its shopping - but, truthfully, I'd be neglecting the biggest selling point of this magnificent area: the Pacific Ocean.

Nearly every home in Corona del Mar is just a stone's throw away from the beach and the famous Pacific Coast Highway.

It's a Southern California paradise - truly.

Did you know that Corona del Mar hosted the first major surf competition in Mainland America?

It's true.

The Pacific Coast Surf Riding Championships were held right here in 1928.

Corona del Mar is also a popular location spot for movie and television productions. In fact, you may have even seen Corona del Mar State Beach on Gilligan's Island or on various Disney shows.

And who can ignore the fabulous beach backdrop on Bravo TV's The Real Housewives of Orange County? Most of it is filmed right here in Corona del Mar.

Even if you don't fancy yourself a beachgoer or a surfer, Corona del Mar's coastal vistas alone are enough to make anyone want to settle down here. Step out onto one of the beautiful cliffs at "Little Corona" or at Crystal Cove State Park, and you will fall in love with this beautiful coastal setting.

And the sunsets here - AMAZING!

Corona del Mar - there's no other place like it.

Corona del Mar may seem like quiet coastal town from the outside - but venture inside Newport's city limits and you're in for fun, excitement and plenty of luxury.
In case you haven't heard, Orange County is hot right now - really hot.

It's the spot where people are clamoring to live, especially within the Corona del Mar zip code.

Now, beaches aside, the favorite sights to see and do in this magnificent area are Balboa Beach, boating along Newport Beach, and shopping at the famed South
Coast Plaza.

Balboa Beach

It is surf and sand, art and music, shopping and dining - all rolled into one family-fun place right there on the Balboa Peninsula. It even has a carousel and Ferris wheel! Like to bungee jump? You can do that at Balboa Beach too! It is one of California's oldest and last great coastal amusement areas.

Boating in Newport

Now, even if you don't own a boat, rent one and take a trip up and down Newport Beach. From yachts to marvelous beachfront homes - the water views from Newport will leave you breathless.

The Annual Christmas Boat Parade is also a must-see. Now in its 100th year, the Boat Parade attracts people from around the state- and country. You'll see beautifully decorated yachts, boats, kayaks, and canoes sail along Newport Harbor in December - and all you'll need is your camera and a light jacket. After all, this is Southern California.

Shopping at South Coast Plaza

You haven't shopped until you've been to South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. This is Orange County's premiere shopping destination, offering luxurious high-end stores, boutiques, spas and salons - and, of course, excellent food. From Saks and Bloomingdale's to Macy's and Nordstrom's - there is something for everyone at South Coast Plaza. And restaurants - well, kids love The Rainforest Café, while parents love Mastro's Steakhouse. Both - perfection!

With the beach, boating, and extraordinary shopping so close by - why would you want to live any place other than in Corona del Mar?

It is quintessential Southern California - quintessential paradise.
