Nestled midway between Los Angeles and San Diego, Laguna Beach proudly dons its art colony roots. The small coastal town is known for its art galleries, festivals, a world-class museum, and many other art-based cultural offerings. Stroll the downtown village for boutique shopping and gallery hopping, taking a breather to enjoy Laguna Beach’s dynamic food scene. From quaint cafes to ocean-view fine dining, the town has it all. At the heart of Laguna Beach is its intimate connection to nature in all its splendor. Enjoy seven miles of gorgeous beaches, 30 hidden coves, sea caves, tide pools, and more than a few scenic bluffs. Explore Laguna’s marine-protected waters with your snorkel, surfboard, or kayak. Marvel at the natural landscapes from a different perspective in more than 20,000 acres of protected wilderness. Verdant hikes with dramatic coastline views beckon, like “Top of the World” at Alta Laguna Park.
