About
Surf & Sand Laguna Beach sits on the sand at 1555 South Coast Highway, so the ocean is never far from the agenda. Its meeting spaces run from boardrooms for 16 to a ballroom for 250, with terraces outside for breaks and receptions. The Laguna Ballroom is the largest room at 2,652 square feet, with vaulted ceilings, original artwork and south-facing windows. It seats 250 theater-style, 150 classroom or 180 at banquet, and adjoins a foyer and a terrace. Top of the Surf has floor-to-ceiling windows over the hills and coastline and seats 110 theater-style. The Beachcomber, the second-largest indoor room, opens onto a sheltered patio and divides in two, as does the Sandpiper on the Conference Center's second floor. Bluebird Beach opens through French doors to a garden patio with a fountain, and Aliso Beach looks over the Aquaterra Courtyard. Four 480-square-foot boardrooms, Crescent Bay, Emerald Bay, Pelican and Coral, handle smaller sessions. Outside, the Catalina Terrace has 180-degree ocean views for up to 120, the Pacific Terrace sits above the water's edge, the Bella Vista Terrace bar and lounge can be booked privately for 90, and the Pool Deck holds 100 beside Splashes Bar. The kitchen builds menus for each group, from a light lunch to a seven-course dinner, and a dedicated conference service team handles the details. Ask about current group offers: Seaside Meetings, for example, adds a wine and cheese reception, waives resort and parking fees, and includes three room upgrades for every 50 rooms booked.
