Located on U. S. Highway 101 just to the east of the entrance to Newport Bay. This "crown of the sea" is not a fishing port but Newport, three miles to the west, has facilities for handling cannery and fresh fish and most of the fish credited to Corona was actually delivered at Newport. There is some abalone gathering here but not much. For a time an albacore buyer barge was anchored off the town but the catches were recorded as landing at Newport. There is a record of very heavy deliveries of abalone in 1931 but these were not local. They must have come from one of the Channel Islands and in any case should have been reported as delivered to Newport. The rocky spots near Corona del Mar are popular fishing grounds for skin divers. Corona del Mar Beach State Park contains seven acres.
