Visit The Crystal Cove Museum
Located at the south end of the cottage cove in cottage #13, the museum has a long history. As a teen, I watched the movie Beaches countless times with my best girlfriend. The museum cottage was used in filming the movie with Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey as well as other movies from years past. Explore and learn as a family as you take a look back at the history of the area.

You can walk to the restaurant from any of the cottages and enjoy your meal with the ocean breeze gently blowing in. Meals are very reasonable priced at The Beachcomber Cafe and large enough that you can share a meal as well.
If you are not staying at the Beach Cottages you should park on the opposite side of PCH and wait for the shuttle to take you over to The Beachcomber Cafe. The shuttle costs one dollar per person each way and let’s just say that you will find the driver to be entertaining.
