"Historic Destination: Shacking Up with Bette Midler," ''American Heritage'', Nov./Dec 2006.
The historic district features a Ruby's Shake Shack and the "Beachcomber Cafe". The Crystal Cove Conservancy is now working on restoring the North Beach cottages.
A resident of the cottages, Martha Padve, was highly involved in a long-running case to list Crystal Cove on the National Register and to fight the State of California over tenancy matters.
The cottages at Crystal Cove were first built by the Irvine Company and were owned by movie directors and producers. Many movies have been filmed here, including ''Treasure Island'' (1918) and ''Beaches'' (1988). Many of the cottages are currently available for public vacation rentals. The district also remains a popular location for the film industry. The main cottage featured in ''Beaches'' is currently being used as a homage to Crystal Cove's Hollywood past where visitors can learn about the different movies filmed in Crystal Cove.
In 2015, Crystal Cove Alliance was featured, along with other organizations, in ''Laguna Beach Eco Heroes'', a 30-minute documentary by
