With the spring months upon us, there’s no better way to take in the glorious sunsets melting in the Pacific than enjoying outdoor live music in the heart of Laguna Beach. Every year, in May and September, the lodging establishments of Laguna Beach and the City of Laguna Beach fund the FREE Sunset Serenades concert series in the HEISLER PARK AMPHITHEATRE where you can see, feel and virtually hear that magical Laguna sunset. This event has been voted as the ‘best arts program’ by the Laguna Beach Alliance for the Arts.
The amphitheater is tucked into the hillside of the shore giving sweeping views from ROCKPILE BEACH down the southern coast. The tiered, outdoor grassy theater makes for the perfect spot to sit and enjoy a casual picnic dinner, listen to music and watch the sunset slowly set over the ocean. Sunset Serenades is the perfect way to experience the “small town” charm of Laguna Beach.
