okay ... for beach people this is probably a really stupid question, but I don't understand the multiple names of beaches within the beaches.
For example, a friend recommended that we go to Newport beach. OK, so I go to the website http://www.visitnewportbeach.com and then there are like 6 different beaches -
crystal cove
corona del mar
little corona in corona del mar
the wedge
upper newport bay
newport municipal beach
newport pier at balboa
laguna is the same.
so ... as a beach newbie, what does this mean? Can we walk from one to the other? are these beaches within the beaches so distinct? is there anything to keep in mind when considering kiddos at these places?
Also I see a lot of complaints about parking. is there a site or something that can help show me where I can park?
We are going in early August and want to do a beach afternoon / after lunch visit to the beach and stay through sunset. We are staying at the Grand Californian and have a car.
obviously, we are not really beach people, so thanks for any advice you can give me.
