Crystal Cove State Beach is located on the Southern California coast in Orange County. The State rents old cottages that have been renovated over the last few years after the 99-year leases to the original residents ran out. There is a nice restaurant and bar called The Beachcomber on the beach too, and it is very popular for wining and dining and watching the sunset, which is exactaly what my friends and I did the night I took this photo.
