Laguna Beach, California Travel Information

Laguna Beach

Laguna Beach is one of Southern California's favorite and most famous beaches. Popularized by the MTV series, Laguna Beach, it's a seaside artists' colony with galleries and the annual Pageant of the Masters. When visiting, enjoy shopping, great dining and nearby attractions such as Disneyland.


You can also buy tickets and board the Catamaran high speed boat departing daily from nearby Dana Point. With over 20 beaches to enjoy, you're in for a treat you in Laguna Beach.

For nearly 100 years Laguna Beach has attracted artists who have been inspired by the rocky cliffs, aquamarine ocean water and flower-covered meadows, canyons and mountains. When attending three different art events in Laguna Canyon (Sawdust Festival, Art Affair and Pageant of the Masters,) the smell of eucalyptus trees combine with the scent of wildflowers, and the Pacific Ocean to provide an intoxicating scent of nature that's uniquely Laguna Beach.

In addition to the canyons and mountains, Laguna offers more hotels on the beach and more hotel rooms on the sand than probably any city in California except for San Diego. This is what makes it the most popular place to visit and stay. People love stepping out onto the beach or looking out on the ocean from a hotel room and Laguna Beach's hotel offerings and make that a reality.

Boutique and funky beach and surf shopping combined with more galleries per capita than any city in Southern California, plus exquisite to affordable dining make Laguna Beach a very cool place to visit and enjoy. While it is very family-oriented, it's also ideal for romance and getaway weekends on your own, or with friends. Don't miss special art events such as First Thursday (evening) Art Walk.
