Summer Is Still Summering at Crystal Cove Beach Summer isn’t over yet, and one of my favorite ways to soak it up is with a beach day at Crystal Cove. It always feels a little more adventurous here. You walk through a tunnel to get to the beach, which somehow makes it feel like a hidden gem every single time. What I love most is that you have options. There’s a great restaurant and bar right on the sand if you want to grab food and a drink, or you can pack your own and picnic, which is what I did. I brought my black and white striped cooler that doubles as a beach tote, and my foldable black and white beach mat for lounging. Both are practical but still give that pulled-together summer look. White flip flops completed the look and were perfect for walking across the sand and up to the Shake Shack later. Toward the end of the day, walked up the hill to grab a burger and milkshake from the Shake Shack and caught the most perfect view of the sunset. Crystal Cove really gives you the best of both worlds - beach, bites, and a view to end the day. #california #beach #beachstyle #crystalcove #beachpicnic #summeraccessories #beachmat #whiteflipflops #sunsetvibes crystal cove beach day | summer picnic at the beach | black and white cooler bag | foldable beach mat | white flip flops for summer | crystal cove tunnel walk | shake shack crystal cove | california beach sunset | stylish beach gear | beach day essentials
