While we may be partial to the seaside town, Laguna Beach’s seven miles of abundant beaches and coves speak for themselves. Read on for our top five picks, each with their own appeal and attractions.
Main Beach
If you’re looking for all the action in the center of Downtown Laguna Beach, look no further. Whether you’re looking to sunbathe, take a stroll along the boardwalk, go for a swim, or join a game of beach volleyball, Main Beach has it all.
Crescent Bay
On the north side of Laguna Beach is where you’ll find this secluded cove surrounded by rocky cliffs. Expect calmer waters ideal for snorkeling, kayaking, and paddle-boarding, not to mention catching close-up views of seals, sea lions, and dolphins.
Victoria Beach
