Crystal Cove and Balboa Island
Travel · Coastal California
Spring break, but the good kind. Camping nearby, wandering through Crystal Cove State Park, and making our way over to Balboa Island for those iconic signs and little moments that feel completely frozen in time. The preserved bungalows, the hand-painted lettering, the quirks that haven’t been overworked out of existence.
