Simply known as Main Beach, the centrally-located city beach in Laguna Beach is a long crescent of sandy beach backed by a grassy park. Located in a cove, the beach offers great conditions for swimming and sun-bathing.

There are life guards on the beach and surfing is not allowed in the summer months, so bathers can relax and enjoy the waters. There is a boardwalk, basketball and volleyball courts, a children’s playground, restrooms and showers. Activities include swimming, body boarding, scuba diving, beach walking and castle building. If you enjoy tide pooling you can walk north to Heisler Park where you can picnic and explore the tidal pools.
