This is a great beach to take out of towners too. They can see the little lighthouse thing and take their picture. The sidewalks have recently been redone and are now very stroller/wheel chair friendly. The play structure is a bit dated but the kids still like it. More

Main beach in Laguna is unique. Just wander around, people watch and get something to eat and drink. Of course, lie in the beach and swim if you'd like. The only possible negative is parking - you may end up several blocks from the beach, but hey, it's your day of fun and frolic! More

Beautiful beach with many spots for sitting and enjoying the sights. Playground for young children, basketball courts for others. Across the street from many small shops and restaurants. Ideal place to relax on a sunny day.But parking is limited and can be a problem. More

We liked the time we spent here, it was a beautiful warm day. Defiantly going back. The parking was terrible and we should have walked from our cottage it was so close. More

This is a beautiful stretch of beach within the town of Laguna itself, so you are close to restaurants and shops. More
