North Beach Restoration Project
The restoration of these cottages is part of the $55 million North Beach Restoration Project, a major effort to preserve and restore the 17 remaining historic cottages in Crystal Cove State Park’s Historic District. This project will ensure future generations can enjoy this beloved coastal destination, with completion planned for 2026.
Funding for the restoration has come from a dedicated group of organizations and individuals. Bank of America contributed through funding and Federal Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits. Assembly Member Cottie Petrie-Norris secured over $30 million in state funding. Additional support came from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the WWW Foundation, local philanthropists, and individual donors.
