Crystal Cove Plans
At last, a bona fide resort on 76 acres of Newport Coast (“Marriott Plans Time Shares on Newport Coast,” Jan. 7). Now maybe the publicly owned Crystal Cove Historic District can be restored to its owners, the people of California. We have waited nearly 20 years since its purchase to enjoy an overnight stay in the park’s beachfront cottages.
The Crystal Cove Historic District is a 13-acre portion of the 2,800-acre Crystal Cove State Park, named for its historic cottage enclave, its gemstone. The district should be free of discriminatory “resort” rates.
A park of this historic character is certainly not for pawning to eager brokers.
