Probably Corona Del Mar on the south side of the Newport inlet. Was there last week. The sand beach wraps around like in many movies (Hanama Bay, HI, etc). Probably has been in some movies. The water is warmer and cleaner than Santa Monica Bay. The Wedge on the north side was slamming down 30 ft waves, with some brave and/or foolish body surfers riding them.
