Join Crystal Cove Conservancy for Movies on the Beach, a magical summer evening where the shoreline becomes an open air theater under the stars. Bring your blankets, low back beach chairs, and loved ones for a memorable coastal movie night in one of Southern California’s most iconic settings.

Before the film begins, enjoy family friendly educational tabling experiences designed to spark curiosity and connection with the natural world. Guests of all ages can explore hands on activities, meet community partners, and learn more about Crystal Cove’s unique coastal environment and the Conservancy’s work to protect it.

Settle in with fresh movie theater popcorn, ocean breezes, and the sound of the waves as the sun goes down and the feature presentation begins. Whether you are making family memories, gathering with friends, or simply enjoying a classic beachside tradition, Movies on the Beach offers an unforgettable evening of community, conservation, and summertime fun.
