Rocky Point Beach, located at the harbor channel entrance on the Corona Del Mar side of Newport Bay, is a scenic beach that children and adults love to wander along and look at the ocean's treasures. Stairs and footpaths make their way down bluffs from Ocean Blvd. Access is also available across rocks from the north end of Corona Del Mar Beach parking lot. Free street parking. No facilities.

Reminders: There is a 3-day rain advisory after each rain storm, use caution as bacteria levels can increase during this period. The County Environmental Health staff advises swimmers that levels of bacteria can rise significantly in ocean and bay waters adjacent to storm drains, creeks and rivers. Swimmers should avoid coastal waters impacted by discharging storm drains creeks and rivers, and beach users should avoid contact with any runoff on the beach during dry or wet weather conditions. As an extra precaution remain 500 ft away on either side from any outfalls.
