If you're looking for a quiet and calm beach experience near Anaheim, Laguna Beach might be your best option. It's not too far from the city along the Pacific Highway and is easily accessible, but not as popular or crowded as other nearby locations. This extensive beach is broken up by rocky formations that can be a lot of fun to explore, and Laguna Beach is simply perfect for families with kids of any age who like to climb around and discover secret spaces.

There are plenty of secluded spots to be found along this beach and the conditions are just right for all kinds of activities, from simple strolls along the sand to surfing and diving. If you want to make the most of the local town’s amenities, it makes sense to stick to the central area of the beach, but if you’ve brought your own gear and food, you can feel free to explore the beach at your leisure as it runs for several miles in both directions.
