Laguna Beach is seven miles of coves and headlands with a village at the center. Main Beach and the boardwalk sit where Broadway meets the sand, Heisler Park runs north along the bluff with its tide pools and lawn, and Pacific Coast Highway threads the whole city — Downtown, then North Laguna, then the beaches at Crescent Bay and Victoria, then Three Arch Bay at the south end. The galleries along PCH and Forest Avenue, the Festival of Arts and the Pageant of the Masters each summer, are the town's civic identity, not a sideline.

Behind the coast the land climbs fast. Laguna Canyon carries SR-133 inland toward the 405 and holds the wilderness park, the canyon cottages and the arts district; above the village, Woods Cove, Bluebird Canyon and Top of the World are hillside streets where the lots step down and the views open up. Housing is nearly all one-off: cottages, mid-century post-and-beam, remodels and custom hillside homes, with a limited number of ocean-front condominiums.

At a glance

Vibe: Walkable art town wrapped around coves and a canyon
Housing: Cottages and remodels in the village, hillside custom homes in Woods Cove and Top of the World, canyon houses inland, a small pool of coastal condominiums
Location: South Orange County coast, between Newport Beach and Dana Point
Getting around: Pacific Coast Highway along the coast and SR-133 through Laguna Canyon to the 405; the summer trolley covers the village

Lifestyle

Tide pools at Heisler Park, the coves at Victoria and Thousand Steps, First Thursdays art walk, the summer festivals, and the trails in Laguna Coast Wilderness Park right behind town.

Housing

Almost nothing here is a tract. Expect cottages and mid-century homes in the village, custom hillside houses on stepped lots, canyon properties inland, and a limited supply of condominiums close to the water.

Why we love it

It is the one Orange County beach city that still reads as a village.

Pairs naturally with the harbor and hillside cities we cover just south and inland.
