Love a morning walk all along Cliff Dr to the Crescent Bay Point Park. The houses along the road are gorgeous, overlooking the cliff, breathtaking. The view, the smell and sound of the ocean. If you admire the view you can spot a paddle boarder, a seagull, or just living. Thank God every morning for waking up and the opportunity to enjoy life.

What a super cute park. Very scenic spots for photos. A nice green area for picnics or to just sit and have serenity. Its hidden back in a residential area. Well worth it to go and be at peace with picture opportunities for the sunrise or sunset.

My pictures don't do it justice - it's gorgeous and the water is incredibly clear. The surf and waves are not for novice swimmers or little ones.

Beautiful park overlooking the ocean. Grassy area. Stone benches. Natal plum plants (with long THORNS) are abundant. I am told by residents that the sunsets are beautiful from here. "Natal plum (Carissa macrocarpa or C. grandifolia) blooms mainly in summer, and sporadically all year long so that throughout most of the year you'll have both flowers and pretty little red fruit present on the shrub. The star-like flowers are about 2 inches (5 cm.) in diameter and have thick, waxy petals. The edible, bright red, plum-shaped fruit tastes like cranberries, and you can use it to make jam or jelly....all parts of the plant, except the fully ripe berries, are poisonous."

Tucked away in a lovely residential area, this spot is one of the best in Laguna Beach. You can get some great photographs here & just sit & relax. Be respectful of the beautiful area & residents! Someone left trash behind in the succulents here today. Not cool!

This is an amazing little spot to just hang out and get beautiful views. You can have a picnic here, there is grass. Take a look at the picture I added, it's beautiful. Definitely come hang out at this spot if you are just looking for a relaxing and chill time. But like others have said, parking can be a hit or miss.

This little park in Laguna Beach is often overlooked but definitely worth a visit. The views are mesmerizing of the entire coastline, blue ocean and the houses on the hills. Located just north of the Main Beach and Heisler Park, right of PCH. Find the time to stop by and bring your camera !

The foliage isnt completely void in late December

I didnt know what to expect, outside of incredibly picturesque views. So when I rolled up, I was surprised that the only parking available was on an unoccupied curb, and that it was a super tiny park, with super spectacular views! You can bring a tripod, but you dont have to, as there are railings all around for you to stabilize your arms on, while you get that great phone photo. BTW: To get here, you'll most likely be on a toll road, so don't forget to pay your tolls at https://www.thetollroads.com/ ... because you only get a 5 day before/after your visit to pay for your tolls on their website. If you forget to do this, you'll receive a friendly "Notice of Toll Evasion" violation notice in the mail. And there is a Violation Dispute Process, which is extremely effective, if your name just happens to be Justin Bieber

Beautiful tiny park nestled away just off the Coast Highway on a bluff overlooking the ocean. Located a bit south of Crystal Cove. While driving into Laguna Beach I noticed a sign indicating a "vista point" and my curiosity led me to investigate. While the little park and its colorful floral garden is lovely, the view is amazing. I stood for half an hour watching dolphins play in the waters below and a whale briefly surface and blow out its spout in the near distance. People were swimming in the waters of Crescent Bay Beach and a handful of scuba divers were having underwater adventures. Children were exploring tidepools in the rocky terrain below and a seal or two would occasionally pop their heads out of the water not too far from shore. I watched a couple get engagement photos taken here. I thought this would be a perfect place to propose marriage or even to get married. Reading other reviews, apparently this is a popular spot for those wanting a small wedding with one of the most gorgeous views along the coast as the backdrop. Sometimes we need to stop our busy lives for a few minutes and enjoy a moment at a place like this.

Although I've been coming to this spot for almost 20 years, I never thought of checking in until recently. My friends and I hike in North Laguna off the Dartmoor trailhead and almost always stop by this park to end the hike. Over the years I've seen everything from Dolphins, to sharks to whales swimming by off Seal Rock. On a few more adventurous outings I've even some nude photo shoots on the rocks below. I've been here during weddings, birthday parties, prom pictures, anniversaries and wedding proposals. It may sound like it's busy, but it never really is crowded and you can always get a shot of the view you want. This location is absolutely beautiful at all times of the day and you can find it easy to just hang out here for hours if you don't have anything else planned. For those who have yet to make it here, do so at your earliest as it will be one of the most memorable views of your life.

Beautiful Day

Beautiful. This park is in a residential area. We parked fairly quickly. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too packed. Absolutely beautiful view of the ocean. There's a grass area at the entrance for a picnic. Great place to see the sun set into what looks like the ocean. Picturesque.

Magical..

My husband and I were looking for a place in the OC to hang out on a sunny Saturday, and I found this place on yelp.com! I convinced my husband to check out this park and we're so glad we did! While I've been to Laguna Beach numerous times in the past, I've never been to this hidden gem. :) This park is relatively small, you can walk through it in less than 20 minutes -- however, don't be deterred by the small-ness of it! This park is nestled in a cliff-side neighborhood, and the views from the park are absolutely gorgeous! It reminded me of Hawaii to some extent, but without the sea turtles, haha.... You can see cliffs (with expensive / ritzy houses on them - overlooking the ocean) and waves crashing against rocks in the ocean. My husband even spotted a sea lion! What a treat for a weekend stroll! :) There are plenty of benches in this park for you to sit and enjoy a picnic or people-watching, if you so desire. I look forward to coming back again in the future! Parking available on the neighborhood streets (for free!).

Ask the Community - Crescent Bay Point Park

Are there lots of stairs, steps or inclines?

No there isn't but parking is very limited since it's a residential area.

The very best part of this beach is the parking! However, it's when you can get a parking spot as…read morewell in their paid lot - few dollars per hour, super reasonable. We went around 10:30 am on a weekday so we did find several spots available at that time. Not long after - within the next hour-ish, the lot quickly was full and you would see cars going around and around trying to find a car that was leaving. If you find a spot in the lot, the beach is literally right there and it's so convenient for carrying things or going back to your car for something. The water is very close and it makes for a really fun time. It's pretty clean and there's a kids park and jungle gym right next to the parking lot and there's a restaurant there as well - I haven't tried it yet, but will be for sure on another trip there.

Aliso Beach is easily one of my favorite coastal spots in Laguna! Finding a beach that is actually…read moreaccessible and stress-free can be a challenge, but this one nails it. ​One of the biggest wins is that it actually has two parking lots, which is a total game-changer for this area, especially if you're hauling gear. The layout is incredibly ADA accessible, and the tunnel under PCH makes getting from the extra parking to the sand safe and easy. You can also go to the lifeguard tower to ask them for a beach wheelchair. ​It's a fantastic, family-friendly environment with plenty of space to set up an umbrella and spend the whole day. Whether you're here for the views or just a relaxing afternoon by the water, the convenience makes it a 10/10 experience. Definitely a go-to if you want a beautiful beach day without the usual parking headache! There is a creek where sewage and other things run off that is connected to the ocean so just be mindful!
