Great location for a family trip!
Crystal Cove has a beautiful location! The beach is so pretty with a fun reef to snorkel. The wind was a bit strong some of the time which made for waves, but it made us explore other calmer beaches such as Coki and Secret Harbor. Coki is right next to Coral World which is an aquarium/ocean animal park that is 8 minutes away. Coral World is a good little break from the sun when sunburnt. Coki Beach (right by coral world) is gorgeous with a reef to snorkel. Expect locals selling things such as necklaces, coconuts, and even marijuana. They are polite and move on if you aren’t interested. Secret Harbor is within a resort and was nice and calm for kids to swim. We loved having a chill vibe (and felt safe) at Crystal Cove with options for food, drinks, and ice cream right next door at Sapphire Beach Resort. Also, access to taxis at Sapphire Beach resort was wonderful. They were always prompt and kind. The condo was nice and clean with everything we needed for the beach such as towels, toys, snorkel gear and extra chairs. (Although the nearby beach had chairs as well). We were able to get groceries nearby. Our airport transfer driver stopped on our arrival day got that. The only things we could have used were extra blankets. We used the provided pack and play for our toddler but had to cover her up with a pillowcase and towels. And, we used towels to cover up in the evenings on the couch since the air vent above the microwave was chilly after a day of sun on the skin.
