Laguna Beach invites you to feel the warm sun and sand, to dip your toes in the cool blue surf and to surround yourself on emerald green canyons. Laguna Beach is nine miles of pristine coastline, located halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego. Enjoy ocean wildlife with dolphins, sea lions and more just offshore. It’s no ordinary place…and there’s nowhere else on earth quite like it!

Soak in the sun, hike among 20,000 acres of wilderness, kayak among wild dolphins, take a walk on the wild side in our celebrated tide pools, enjoy an interactive art lesson, join a drum circle, participate in a session of laughter yoga, enjoy a leisurely stroll along the cliffs in Heisler Park, or just sit and gaze at endless blue skies that meet the horizon along the sparkling blue Pacific.

Laguna Beach is home to over 100 galleries and one-of-a-kind shops. This artists’ village offers the complete spectrum in a casual walking environment. If you’re in the mood to shop for home furnishings, jewelry, surf wear, gifts or just window shop, there are many options including ready-to-wear art and unique designer accessories.
