Laguna Beach Caves (Closed)

As of Friday, January 31st, 2025, Thousand Steps Beach is closed due to a landslide for an undetermined amount of time. More details are available here.

Laguna Beach Caves are beautiful caves with blue, clear water. This place is free to visit, but please exercise caution and adhere to local updates, rules, and closures!

Explore some beautiful caves right on the beach in Laguna. The stairs leading down to Thousand Setps Beach are just off the side of PCH at 9th st. You can park anywhere along the PCH on both sides near 9th st.

Head down the stairs and the main caves are on the left. To the right there are also some small caves that are cool for photos. It's super easy to find. It's also an awesome place to take a date and watch the sunset. The rocks can be a little rough to walk on barefoot so it would be good to have some sandals with straps or something that can get wet and protect your feet.

Note:
This area may be closed due to tide or a large, incoming swell. Be sure to check the tide and swell conditions before visiting.
