The One
and Only
Laguna Beach
Part art colony, part surf town, part canyon soul and ocean rhythm.
Discover the
True Laguna
From the Green Belt to the Blue Belt, canyon studios to a bohemian heritage—Laguna runs deep.
Welcome to Laguna Beach
Beautifully Eclectic. Wild. Welcoming. And Fiercely Protected by All.
What makes Laguna Beach unforgettable lives far beyond the shoreline. It’s the full ecosystem: mazes of winding trails, canyon studios, an offbeat creative legacy, and a community passionately committed to keeping it all thriving.
With seven miles of coastline, 22,000 acres of protected wilderness, and a legacy shaped by artists, activists, and outdoor enthusiasts, Laguna offers far more than any postcard could ever capture. It’s a living ethos—one that invites curiosity, rewards intention, and inspires each visitor to leave it a little better than they found it.
