Cameo Shores / Cameo Highlands

About Cameo Shores & Cameo Highlands

Welcome to the extraordinary coastal enclave of Cameo Shores and Cameo Highlands in the heart of the charming village of Corona del Mar — two intimately-scaled neighborhoods that together offer a rare blend of seaside luxury, sweeping vistas, and easy access to one of Orange County’s most beloved villages. With approximately 170 homes in Cameo Shores and around 140–150 homes in Cameo Highlands, these communities are composed primarily of single-family homes that range from mid-century ranch and California modern originals to bold contemporary rebuilds and brand-new “super-mansion” estates.

In Cameo Shores, homes are arranged on terraced streets sloping down toward the Pacific, allowing most residences to enjoy panoramic ocean or canyon views — many even stretching toward Catalina Island. Cameo Highlands, perched just north of the Pacific Coast Highway, offers elevated lots and generous parcels that provide sweeping coastal sight-lines from Laguna Beach to Palos Verdes, all while retaining a profoundly private and serene atmosphere.

Architecturally, the neighborhoods offer an appealing mix: classic mid-century ranch homes and modest beachfront cottages have given way to lavish two-story contemporary estates (especially in Shores) and refined single-story luxury residences (especially in Highlands) designed for indoor/outdoor California living. The natural beauty of the setting is palpable — hillside bluffs, private beach gates with tide-pools and rock formations, landscaped courtyards and resort-style pools are all part of daily life.

Community amenities are distinctive: residents enjoy access to multiple private beaches via Cameo Shores (and shared by Highlands) plus easy trail links through the adjacent Crystal Cove State Park to nature, beach and bluffside recreation. For recreation lovers, the famed Pelican Hill Golf Club with its ocean-view fairways is right next door — so golfing, beaching, hiking and fine dining can all be on your agenda in a single weekend.

In terms of lifestyle and convenience, the Village of Corona del Mar is just minutes away — with boutique shops, upscale dining, charming cafés and art galleries all within walking or easy driving distance. For broader shopping and high-end retail, the nearby Fashion Island delivers world-class options. With beaches, golf, village ambiance and architectural pedigree, Cameo Shores and Cameo Highlands represent truly exceptional coastal real estate for those seeking a refined, relaxed and spectacularly scenic lifestyle.
