Perfect Guide to Laguna Beach, California
Come find out why this artsy little town is perfect for your next beach vacation!
Laguna Beach is a little art town on the coast of California full of life! It's tiny downtown is filled a with shops and restaurants making it the perfect destination for a short weekend away. You can enjoy the beach and some yummy local cuisine! One of the biggest perk of this town are the gorgeous beaches!
What to do?
This beach makes you feel like you just found your own private paradise! It's a little tricky to find, but its one of my favorite spots in laguna!
Address: 31972 Pacific Coast Hwy, Laguna Beach, CA92651
Follow your maps until you hit the location of the stairs, once you arrive park on the street! Now find the opening to the beginning of the stairs! Just a reminder this beach is called 1000 steps and there is a reason for that! Hike down the steps till you arrive to this perfect paradise!
The Laguna Beach tide pools are amazing! They definitely are unique, but a little difficult to get to. You have to time your way into and out of the area so you aren't swallowed by waves! So please be careful!
Go to the same Address as the 100 steps beach! Climb down those 220 steps and immediately turn left when you reach the sand! Travel south till you reach a cave! This cave is only passable at low tide! Climb through the cave and over the little rocks into a cove. You'll see the first pool there! Don't forget to pay attention to the tide! Waves will crash over the pools as the tide rises and it can be dangerous!

There is a tiny stair case leading to the beaches between Sunset Terrace and Victoria Drive! Head down the tiny stairway and start walking to the right around a group of rocks till you see the tower! Be careful! This area is rocky and some tennis shoes might be helpful on this adventure!
