Review:

One of the largest beaches in South Laguna Beach, Thousand Steps Beach, is a wide, natural sand beach nestled along the iconic Pacific Coast Highway.

Contrary to its name, visitors will only need to climb down 223 stairs to reach the sand from the highway.

It offers visitors a wealth of outdoor activities include sunbathing, surfing, skim-boarding, snorkeling, and scuba diving.

The beach is also home to tide pools and several caves available for exploration, including a large cave on the southern end of the beach that can only be entered when the tide is out exposing its entrance.

The cave acts as a tunnel opening out onto a small, rocky cove on the other end.
