About Laguna Beach
Laguna Beach is a scenic Orange County art colony set among coves, bluffs, and tide pools, widely regarded as one of Southern California's most beautiful stretches of coast. Its many small beaches — tucked below a hillside village of galleries — are prized for snorkeling, tide-pooling, and swimming in the protected marine reserve. The Pacific here is cool year-round. The Pacific here is cold and currents can be strong, so check the safety flag and rip-current risk above, be ready for cold water, and swim near a lifeguard.
