Let someone else do the cooking as you and yours enjoy Thanksgiving in Laguna Beach. With special meals, fall-inspired dishes, and warm sunny skies, you can't go wrong in choosing Laguna Beach as the backdrop for your beach-inspired feast. 

After you've stuffed yourself full of turkey, sides and pie, you'll probably be ready for relaxation, or a nice, scenic stroll through Heisler Park (or one of our other parks or beaches!), where you can take in endless views of the Pacific Ocean.
