Crystal Cove, located in Orange County, has been declared the best state beach in California by the California State Parks Foundation, which conducted a public poll. Executive Director Rachel Norton emphasized the beauty and accessibility of California's coastline, stating it's difficult to exclude Orange County beaches from any best-of lists. The cove, known for its stunning sunsets and open spaces, was highlighted for its iconic status in Southern California culture. The recognition is also a testament to the efforts of the Crystal Cove Conservancy and their commitment to protecting the area.
"How lucky we are in California to have this coastline that's so protected and so accessible. It's really hard to make a best of beach list without naming an Orange County beach on it."
"This recognition reaffirms our mission to inspire people to connect with nature and become stewards of California's natural and cultural treasures."
