Corona Del Mar
The Scenic Town
The Charming Neighborhood
Aptly called the “Crown of the Sea”, Corona del Mar is majestically perched above the cliffs of the Pacific Ocean. Referred to as CdM, this chic and quaint hamlet is part of the Newport beach, but it has an asthetic and charm of its own. Here you will find vintage cottages and stunning new houses nestled side by side on residential streets named after flowers.
The CdM lifestyle is something you can totally get used to. From enjoying restaurants like The Quiet Woman, Pirozzi Corona Del Mar and Zinc Cafe & Market to wandering on the expansive grounds at Sherman Library and Gardens, you will be pressed for time. There are many shopping options on PCH as well. Those with a fine taste for luxury should check out On Que Style, an insider’s spot for buying, selling and trading luxury pre-owned fashion merchandise.
The Ocean, Minutes Away!
