November 13, 2024
Being cutesy, being demure, it's all the rage these days, but what does that even mean? Well, the team here at Visit Laguna Beach has curated some great places in town to embrace the art of being demure. To begin, “demure” actually means reserved, modest, or even shy, typically this is referring to the nature of a person, but we’ve rounded up some very cutesy and very demure spots in Laguna Beach!
Friends of the Laguna Beach Library
Fairy and Butterfly Garden
Friends of the Laguna Beach Library Fairy and Butterfly Garden is a great choice for those looking to get a break from the main roads in town. Nothing screams cutesy like a flower garden full of butterflies, filled with the natural and indigenous plants of Lagunas coastal region, it's a great spot to take inspiration for one's own garden. A secluded space to rest and recenter oneself, the Fairy/ Butterfly Garden boasts a variety of plants and flowers known to attract butterflies and maybe even some magical friends. Located in front of the Laguna Beach Library, children and those young at heart can enjoy the magical fairy houses and everything else that the Garden has to offer.
Peppertree Lane
A secluded spot located in the heart of Laguna, Peppertree Lane is undoubtedly one of the demurest spots in all of Laguna Beach. Built in 1934, around a living Peppertree, hence the name, Peppertree Lane has become a beloved spot for tourists and locals alike. Walking by too quickly? Blink and you’ll miss it. But for those in the know it's one of the best quiet spots in all of the Laguna area. Located in the cozy courtyard you can grab a cocktail at the historical Saloon or stop by for a box of chocolates at La Rue de Chocolat, or even a scoop from Gelato Paradiso.
