I know it has ocean views, but how far from the beach if you walk? Does the property have a shuttle service to the beach?

The beach is approximately 1/3 of a mile. However, because the propertyis large, depending upon where you are on the property, you could end upwith a walk of up to a mile. The resort does offer scheduled shuttleservice to the beach, along with nearby dining and shopping.

While you can walk down the hill - past the golf course - to the beach(maybe 1/2 mile to the water) there is a shuttle bus that runs hourly.Fun to just ride it and see sights. And there are a number of otherbeaches within a short drive

The short walk to the beach is very nice and pleasant. If you are in goodhealth and pack light, it is very feasible. I am an owner for 20 years.My kids grew up going here every year and we created many fond memoriesat this resort and the area. Over these years, I took this walk down tothe beach many times with my kids, friends, ex-wife (when we weremarried), friends, relatives, girl friends, etc... 🙂 If you stay at thisresort, walking down to the beach is a must do. From the resort, you will walk through the resort... then downhill alongNewport Coast Blvd for about 2-3 minutes... cross over one street lightintersection.... You will then end up in the California State Park withmany flat, paved trails including some downhill trails to the beach(follow signs that say "Beach Access"). The State beach is wide open withplenty of room for your perfect spot and has life guards during thesummer. If you have the energy, walk to Crystal Cove beach, have a drink atBeachcomber, and devour some burgers and fries at the Shake Shack... andwalk back. Remember, if you walk downhill, be ready to walk back up!!! Enjoy! Read more »
