Review:
Laguna’s Thousand Steps Beach is actually just over 200 steps from the Pacific Coast Highway above, but those 200 stairs are enough to keep the beach quieter than most during the busy summer months. Access the staircase from just north of 9th street, and at the bottom you’ll find a nice stretch of white sand beach and beach break surf, perfect for skim boarding and body surfing. At low tide, explore the cave to the south of the beach, with a full walkthrough that becomes inaccessible when the tide is high. Metered parking is available along the Coast Highway, and in town near the top of the steps.
