LIVE CLOCKDock wisdom
Crystal Cove itself has no marina - launches are beach access from Reef Point or Pelican Point.
The underwater marine preserve means no fishing - snorkel and dive only in the protected waters.
Newport Harbor and Dana Point are the nearest marinas - both are 15 to 20 minutes away.
Water clarity is best on calm mornings in summer before wind builds in the afternoon.
