About this place
La Tour is the name of the hidden tower in Laguna Beach and it looks like it's straight out of a fairy tale! Great spot to watch the sunset, play in the natural pool, or have a photoshoot.
To find this little hidden treasure, put Victoria Beach into your phone as your destination and park for free on S Coast Highway anywhere between Sunset Terrace, McAulay Place, or Victoria Drive. Make your way down any of these streets toward the beach and you will see stairs going down at the end of Sunset Terrace/Victoria Drive. Be sure to check the tide tables.
Head down the stairs but before the last step to the beach go right across the rocks. I would recommend shoes with excellent grips that can get wet, as you will need to scramble across a few rocks. After two short minutes you will see an awesome looking pool that when conditions are right, fill. Right before sunset seems to work out perfect for me as the pool was filled.
The tower itself is right next to the natural pool. Fun fact: This tower was used as a spiral staircase so the people that lived above it could easily get down to the beach. It is abandoned and locked up now but still provides a great landscape for photographers.
