Fun Facts

China Cove was a filming location for the 1920s silent film 'Treasure Island,' adding a touch of cinematic history to its scenic beauty.

The cove got its name from the Chinese fishermen who settled in the area in the late 1800s, leaving a cultural imprint on Newport Beach.

The cove's calm waters and rocky tide pools make it a perfect spot for observing starfish, sea anemones, and other marine creatures.

The iconic China House, with its distinctive pagoda-style roof, once stood at the cove, serving as a landmark until it was demolished in 1987.

With its secluded beach and gentle waves, it's a favorite spot for kayaking, paddleboarding, and simply soaking up the sun.
