Review:
While the idea of 1000 steps is quite intimidating, there are actually only about 230 steps, very steep ones, leading from across the Pacific Coast Highway in Laguna Beach, down to the water’s edge.
There is a colorful sign which guides visitors down the steep stairs covered in a thick, lush canopy of vines and surrounded by trees, making a pleasant shady tunnel. It is such a lovely surprise when you finally get a glimpse of the ocean at the bottom of the stairs.
The beach stretches for seven blocks and is surrounded by sheer cliffs, making a small cove. The beach is popular for surfing, swimming and sunbathing and there is often a game of beach volleyball going on. Don’t overtax yourself, remember that you have to climb those 230 steps on the way home.
Ninth Ave and Pacific Coast Hwy, South Laguna Beach, Laguna Beach, CA 92651
