The sun, sand, and surf of Laguna Beach are the area’s biggest crowd drawers. You have various options to choose from - Main Beach, Aliso Beach, and Victoria Beach are good options if you want to go swimming. On the other hand, the beach at Crescent Bay Point Park is not ideal for swimming, but this area features plenty of picturesque spots if you want to take snaps for your Instagram feed. If you prefer land-based activities, you can head to Laguna Coast Wilderness Park: Big Bend to explore one of its many hiking trails. It goes without saying that shops and restaurants are among the many urban attractions you can find here. This is the perfect destination if you’re looking to have the time of your life. Feel like a celebrity during your vacation by staying at one of the best luxury hotels in Laguna Beach, California.
