CROWN OF THE SEA
➜ Corona del Mar State Beach draws swimmers, body surfers, and sunbathers. With top-notch eats (Page 75) and updated showers and restrooms, this long, crescent-shaped beach is comfortable and welcoming, so much so that summer parking is a challenge despite its large lot ($1.50 to $4 per hour or $15 to $20 per day depending on the time of year). Anyone who doesn’t mind the winding, steep path to the sand from Inspiration Point can park in the neighborhood above and admire the luxurious homes along Ocean Boulevard. Lookout Point overlooking

Artist Rick J. Delanty’s solo exhibit “Beauty Unites Us” is on view through June 6 at Casa Romantica.
The exhibit features 24 recent paintings, including works painted during the pandemic and onsite. The solo show is inspired by the artist’s journal entries from March 2020. Delanty focuses on landscape paintings of San Clemente, Orange County and across the United States.
“What I think viewers will see when they come here is light and energy, and the impressionistic style in which I’ve worked,” said Delanty in a
video interview. “What I’m hoping is that will convey to them the positive feelings that I have about the state of the world today. That it’s not all doom and gloom, but definitely that there are places where we can find beauty if we just look for them.”
