A slow, sunny day by the sea in Laguna Beach

An outing idea to help you plan. Photography is illustrative; this is not a first-person review.

Salty air, sandy toes, and a wonderfully simple day together.

Make a day of it

Start with a beach walk and let the kids set the pace. A bucket and a change of clothes can go a long way.

Build in a shady picnic break, then wander through town for a treat.

Check ocean conditions, lifeguard guidance, tides, and parking before you head out. Stay back from surf and protect marine life.

Before you go

Check current hours, prices, reservations, accessibility, and conditions directly with the destination. Holiday schedules can differ from normal operating hours.
