Little Corona del Mar Elopement
Located in Newport Beach, California, Little Corona del Mar Beach is a beautiful spot for an intimate coastal elopement. With rocky cliffs, ocean views, and plenty of natural scenery, you can get a lot of variety without having to travel between locations. I recommend eloping here during the off-season, just like this couple did. There are typically fewer people around, making the experience feel more relaxed and private. And you don’t need to wait for golden hour—this couple got married at 2 PM, and the natural California daylight still made for beautiful photos.
What to Know Before You Elope
For a simple beach ceremony with 50 people or fewer, a special event permit isn’t required as long as there’s no alcohol, amplified sound, or large setup such as chairs, tables, arches, or tents. The beach also cannot be reserved or roped off, so keeping your elopement small is ideal.
If you’re looking for a laid-back Southern California beach elopement with beautiful scenery and no elaborate production, Little Corona is a great option.
