Main Beach is close to the central village of Laguna and comes with basketball and volleyball courts. Its popular with families and is the best beach for swimming.
Picnic Beach is just north of the village where tide pooling is popular as its too rocky to surf. Sitting on top of the cliffs above the beach is Heisler Park which offers fantastic views of the Laguna coves.
Away from the stunning sandy beaches, Laguna Beach offers its visitors a wealth of activities and interesting places to visit. Whether its shopping downtown, visiting one of the many art galleries, day trips to Catalina Island or going wine tasting in nearby Canyons, there is never a dull moment in Laguna Beach.
