Developed in the 1920s as a planned beach community by George Hart, who named it 'Crown of the Sea' in Spanish.

The Lookout Point and Inspiration Point viewpoints were established as public parks in the early development.

Remained relatively exclusive due to limited road access until the Coast Highway improvements of the 1950s.

Life in Corona del Mar

Corona del Mar cultivates refined coastal living where residents walk to the village for coffee, know their neighbors, and maintain the community character against overdevelopment.
