A polished seaside village on the bluffs south of the harbor, known for its walkable village, coastal gardens, and one of Southern California’s prettiest beaches.
Corona del Mar, often shortened to CdM, blends refined coastal living with a genuine village feel. The Coast Highway corridor along the village is lined with boutiques, cafes, and restaurants, while the residential streets step down toward the water past Sherman Library & Gardens and the bluff-top overlooks. Corona del Mar State Beach and Little Corona sit at the base of the cliffs, and Inspiration Point offers some of the finest harbor-mouth and sunset views in Newport Beach.

Landmarks like Sherman Library & Gardens, Inspiration Point, and the Little Corona tidepools give it a distinctive, well-kept coastal-village character.
Many buyers are drawn to Corona del Mar for its combination of walkability, ocean and harbor views, and proximity to both the beach and the village’s shops and restaurants. It offers a quieter, more residential feel than the peninsula while remaining close to everything in Newport Beach. A licensed local agent can help match specific streets to your priorities on views, privacy, and walkability.
Corona del Mar has a mix of home styles across its village and bluff neighborhoods, from classic cottages to contemporary custom homes, including bluff-top properties oriented toward the water. Lot sizes and view exposure vary considerably from block to block, so on-the-ground guidance is valuable.
Corona del Mar State Beach is the main beach at the base of the bluffs, and Little Corona just to the south is known for its tidepools and rocky coves. Both sit near the harbor entrance, so you often see boats coming and going past the jetty.
