What's the best/easiest access beach in south OC? (kbin.social)

Moved here from San Diego County recently. Down there you sort of just turned off the 101 into a parking lot and boom, beach. (Tamarack, Ponto, Moonlight, etc)

I feel like here in OC they make it real difficult to get to. Any place between Dana Point and Newport that has easy access? I have a fresh little one and am eager to get them out into the sand without it being a fat hassle.

TIA!

My favorite beach would be Corona del Mar state beach. There are bathrooms, snack bar and nice sand. Paid parking lot is right on the beach so you won't have to walk far at all. However, it can get filled up fast so I would get there no later than 10:30-11:00 on the weekends. Alternativly there is a drop off area in the parking lot, so you could always drop off people then park in the free area in the neighborhood before the parking lot. This can also get filled up though if you get there really late and you may need to park farther away and walk like 5-10 minutes.

This is perfect; I'm at the CDM Starbucks all the time so I'll check it out this week! Thank you, friend!

You're welcome, have fun! One thing I forgot to add is parking can be a little expensive in the parking lot. I believe it was like 5$ an hour last time I went end of summer last year.
