Pearl Street
Beach includes the popular Arch Rock and the blow hole people come to watch.
The earthen colors of the rock contrast in a visual display against the
aquamarine color of the Pacific Ocean as shown above.
Pearl Street Beach, Laguna Beach, California--You may think
you're visiting some foreign island. A sort of Galapagos display
where birds sit on protected outcrops of rocks that jut into the
Pacific Ocean are not some foreign land, but are very
Californian. Not shown in the picture, in fact, is a house
perched on the cliff above this beautiful beach, one of over
20+
such beaches in Laguna Beach.
 Pearl Street Beach is located at the end Pearl Street, just a
block away from Pacific Coast Highway. Located south of
Main Beach and the downtown concentration of shops and
galleries, Pearl Street is among good company. Surrounding
streets share gems and stone names such as Ruby, Diamond and
Agate. And they share the same beautiful beaches that are
diverse, yet connected in the winding thread of coves that make
Laguna Beach the most beautiful stretch of shoreline in Southern
California to visit and enjoy.
Pearl Street
Beach and Arch Rock don't allow surfing...but if you're a body
boarder, body surfing,
body boarding, diving, tide pooling, and fishing are all OK. They are permitted and are
enjoyed at Pearl Street Beach. Sunbathers, this is a beach you can soak up
the rays in, too. People like to play paddle ball in the
Pearl Street Beach cove, too.
What to watch out for at Pearl Beach: In addition to the steps
that you must descend, then climb back up, hazardous rip conditions
persist and are present. The surf that breaks off the reef to
the south is a shore break. Rocky with reefs at the
north and south ends of the beach, you have to keep watch on the rock
conditions. Many of Laguna's beaches require additional care,
and because of that, people seem to do pretty well when visiting
these beaches. If in doubt, always ask a lifeguard. Sometimes small rip
currents occur to the north of the
tower and if you're not familiar with them, beware. Rip currents are the
number one danger at California beaches. The pull you away from
shore. There is no climbing, jumping or diving off Arch Rock.
Those privileges are for the birds.
