I've waited more than a year to finish this review so it's appropriate that it will be my 100th one! Woo.

This park has one of the most beautiful views in California.
Last summer I went to all the small beaches of Laguna Beach and while I was at Diver's Cove, I looked up and saw Crescent Bay Point Park and had to find a way to get up there. Once I did, I knew this was the place to propose to my wife.

For some reason, each time I've been here, parking wasn't a problem, but there isn't much of it. It's such a secluded, secret area, I hope it doesn't get too popular. There are amazing views of the beaches below and the Pacific Ocean.

A friend of mine  was actually married here. If you're planning on a very intimate wedding, you just need a permit...and have your guests show up very early.

Don't expect a public bathroom or a snack stand. It's just a small, romantic park with colorful flowers and a view you won't soon forget.

What a magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean, a giant rock and moonlight that shines like a firecracker in the summers. Such an inspiring stretch of coastline for all poets, writers and artists. Many people also get married or propose to their life partners here.

This is an amazing park, and lately Ive been on a poetry kick, and since I have written over 1400 poems, I thought one more wouldn't be too bad to add to my collection.  I hope everyone has a chance to visit this spot! Enjoy my poem!

THE SOUND

Today I saw you walking from the distance
and I ran close to get a better view.
But I didn't see anything, yet there was a sound
In the back of my mind I knew

What happend to the times we've shared
What can I do to make the silence undone?
I still don't understand
What strangers we have become..

All I do is follow you, and your footsteps
I can hear them through out these streets
No matter how far they may be,  
they are always near, like heartbeats.

Also known as "Polar Bear Point," because apparently, the giant rock, covered in guano, shine in the moonlight like a polar bear.

This is one of my favorite places in the world. It is so beautiful, romantic, and calm.

I come here all the time to study, relax, or have a conversation.

Parking is never a problem. There have always been plenty of places to park in the little residential street.

This is as good as it gets.  The views are breathtaking and the garden is beautiful.  This is a MUST SEE.  When I was here yesterday there were tons of baby bunnies just relaxing on the green lawn.. that's how peaceful it was.  Just amazing.. I want to go back already!  I'll post my pictures..

Hubby proposed to me here, with the aid of my trusty stuffed animal Ducky Lucky, who's definitely seen better days.

There aren't many vantage points as beautiful as Crescent Bay, outside of the Amalfi Coast.

A local artist just added bronze sculptures of sea birds and a sea lion here, as well, making it more kid-friendly and adding another layer of Laguna-ness when people choose to be married here.

Don't come expecting a large area to walk around and explore; it is what the name suggests, a jewel-box of a park at a stunning viewpoint.

If you want to impress your lady, do like my husband did: bring her here just before sunset, enjoy the next half hour together (propose, make out or just watch the horizon together), then go up Coast Highway to Five Crowns for dinner.

From the Song "The Way I Are" by Timbaland...The opening line goes..
"I Ain't got no $, I Ain't got no car to take you on a date"...
Well you Ain't got NO problem now if you can Hop or Bike you and your significant other down to Crescent Bay Point Park.... Cos once you do that,  You've got it MADE!! ( I hope)

This is the best  kept secret in the Laguna Beach area... I like to call it  the Moment of Truth Spot... cos if you don't get a rise from your significant other here afterwards, you'll find out these 2 truths:

1... That person is not into you and
2... Gotta find someone else to bring here until that happens (repeat      
     as many times as needed)

This is also a MakeOut point during sunset. times...  It is absolutely GORGEOUS here...  Your significant other will LOVE the scenery and perhaps might fizzle up some feelings towards you, but all the elements are there..  nature is on your side with this... so don't mess it up down the stretch...  Parking is free and if you like to walk about 5 to 10 minutes down the slopes to the right, you'll hit a secluded beach and you can play with more sand....  (I've uploaded some pics here during sunset times...)

Must go if you are in the Laguna Beach area and have that special someone with you or so you thought...

5 Kisses and more for this park!!

I almost don't want to write about this park because I don't want it to get too popular.  It is simply one of the most beautiful places to view the coast in Orange County.  I have a special place in my heart for Crescent Bay because my husband proposed to me there.  The secluded beauty of this park is enhanced by its spectacular views of ocean waves crashing on the shores below and the colorful and exotic flowers.  There are several little inlets in the paths that allow you to take in the view.  When he proposed, my husband took me here at night.  It was very dark, but still romantic and private and we could hear sea otters.  This is one of my favorite places to relax, picnic and just enjoy life and nature.
