Located on the site of the old China House in Newport Beach, China Cove Beach is a small, tucked away sandy beach surrounded by houses and the William G. Kerckhoff Marine Laboratory. China Cove is often uncrowded and a great beach for those looking to relax and escape the large crowds. The entrance to the beach can be found at the intersection of Fernleaf Avenue and Ocean Boulevard in the neighborhood of Corona Del Mar. Once you arrive, you can find ample street parking along Ocean Boulevard.

If you get hungry, check out Gary’s New York Deli, a Corona Del Mar staple known for its friendly service and delicious New York style pastramis. Another great option is Foretti’s, a lively joint serving appetizing southern Italian cuisine. If you’re looking for a solid seafood option, Sota Sushi is only a five-minute drive away from the beach. Sota offers a variety of fresh sushi options featuring contemporary decor with both high-top table and bar seating.

If you’re looking for a place to stay, we like the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel and Spa just a ten-minute drive away from the beach. This 4-Star upscale hotel is conveniently located right next to the shops at the famous Fashion Island and features amenities including two outdoor pools, a spa, and a fitness center. We also like the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach, a luxury resort hotel nestled on 26 acres featuring hundreds of palms and a stunning courtyard. The hotel features amenities including an executive golf course, three unique pools, a waterslide, and tennis courts. If you’re looking for a more affordable option, check out the Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort and Marina, a relaxed boutique hotel with beach cottage rooms as well as RV resort camping spaces.

The beach is a great spot to enjoy boat-watching or the beautiful scenery of the surrounding Newport homes. The soft sandy area is perfect for sunbathing and also includes two volleyball posts, but make sure to bring your own net to enjoy a game with friends or family. If you’re looking to explore, China Cove is also conveniently located nearby a couple of more well-known beaches including Pirate’s Cove and Corona Del Mar State Beach.
