Downtown Laguna Beach

Downtown Laguna Beach wraps you in artistic charm and ocean magic at every turn. Art lovers can hop between the Laguna Art Museum and countless galleries lining Forest Avenue, while beach enthusiasts splash at Main Beach Park's iconic shoreline. The historic Laguna Playhouse offers intimate shows when you need a break from the sun, and Heisler Park's clifftop gardens deliver postcard-worthy views. Restaurants serve fresh seafood on ocean-view patios, though reservations are essential during summer months. The area is perfectly walkable despite some hills, with seasonal trolleys connecting you to nearby beaches. Boutique inns and luxury resorts dominate the accommodation scene, all within steps of the crashing waves and artistic soul that defines this beachy downtown.

This is a spot most locals know about but most tourist do not. It is a gorgeous bay north of Main beach in Laguna Beach and it is my happy place to watch incredible sunsets. Often you will see Dolphins and Seal playing in the waves#LifeAtExpedia

The seasonal trolley makes getting around a breeze when your feet need a break from the neighborhood's scenic but hilly terrain.

Treasure Island Beach

5.0/5 (1 review)
Treasure Island Beach dazzles with golden sands and vibrant tide pools perfect for discovering marine life. Bring water shoes for rocky areas and check tide schedules to catch the pools at their most spectacular.
See properties
This place is a little hard to find, but well worth it! (Note to newbies: it's across from the hospital, and on the weekend you can pay $5 and park in the hospital parking lot.) The architecture above the beach on the cliffs is fascinating. And the beach is not as crowded as some of the others in the area. Also, it's only 250 steps, not 1000. 🙂 Enjoy! iPhone 7Plus, Adobe Photoshop Express #california #aquatrove
