A community located along the coast, making up the land on the seaward face of the San Joaquin Hills, the village of Corona del Mar, California, lies in coastal Orange County.

Corona del Mar is 50 miles south of Los Angeles International Airport, just a few miles west of John Wayne Airport and 70 miles north of San Diego.

It does have its own ZIP code however, and its own Chamber of Commerce. Toe town was settled in the early 20th century.

The oceanside town is near to beaches like Corona del Mar State Beach, a half-mile long beach that forms the entrance of Newport Harbor, and Crystal Cove State Park. It is home to the Sherman Library and Gardens, a more than two-acre nature retreat with gardens, conservatories, flowers, fountains and patios. Its library specializes in researching the Pacific Southwest.
