Catch a Sunset on Victoria Beach

Laguna Beach, California

Description

Added by Alex E

Relax on California's most private public beach. Then grab a beer and very unique blackberry pizza at Neoploitan.

From the South, head North on the South Coast Hwy after you pass Montage Resort Rd. Sunset will be 0.5 miles ahead on your left. During the summer you want to start looking for parking now, but during the winter you can park right by the stairs to the beach. Turn left onto sunset and take that for about 200 yards to the intersection of Sunset and Victoria. The stairs to the beach are at this intersection. Take the stairs down to Victoria beach. Turn left to enjoy Geoff Island, and relax on the beach. Turn right over the rocky wall near the cliffs to photograph the historic La Tour castle and old swimming pool.

From the North, sunset will be on your right 0.5 miles after passing Diamond Street.

Downtown Laguna Beach is only a couple miles North of Victoria Beach. The area is very beautiful with multiple shops, taverns, and entertainment for the entire family to enjoy. The can't miss location in my opinion is the Neopolitan, South of Victoria Beach towards Dana Point. The Neopolitan has many "off the wall" type of appetizers like their roasted beets, or entrees like the epic Blackberry pizza. Wash it all down with a large selection of draft beers or select wines.

Relax at Heisler Park

Located in Laguna Beach, California, Heisler Park is just past Main Beach, so it's the perfect place to avoid the typical tourist crowds. There's plenty of parking at Heisler Park, however you will have to pay, so come with a friend to split the cost! Luckily, if you plan on going to catch the sunset, parking is only paid for until 7pm. After parking, make your way down the set of stairs on the...

Water Tank Trail

There a numerous trails in the Laguna Coast Wilderness that proceed up and along the ridges and down into the canyons (or the reverse), and most are excellent for hiking, trail running, and mountain biking.

Stand Up Paddleboard Fisherman's Cove

Fisherman's Cove is a protected beach and cove in Laguna Beach at the bottom of Boat Canyon that is tucked away from the hustle, bustle, and crowds that are often found at other nearby beaches. Further, parking is easily (relatively speaking) found along Cliff Drive. The beach itself, especially at low tide, is a perfect put-in for stand up paddle boarding and for longer trips sea kayaking the ...

Scuba Dive Shaw’s Cove, Laguna Beach

Shaw’s Cove is located just 3 minutes North of Laguna Beach’s Main Beach Park and one beach south of Crescent Bay. There’s a dive shop placed conveniently above the cove so if you need to rent equipment, it’s right there. The shop is close enough to walk to the cove, but with 60 pounds of gear, that’s not a fun walk. I recommend renting multiple tanks for multiple dives to get your money’s wort...
