Join me for a sun-soaked walking tour through the central and northern parts of Laguna Beach, California, one of Orange County’s most picturesque coastal cities! We start our journey right on the sand at the iconic Main Beach, famous for its historic lifeguard tower and wooden boardwalk, before heading inland to explore the charming, pedestrian-friendly Forest Avenue Promenade. Along the way, I’ll show you top spots to eat and grab coffee—from local staples like Zinc Cafe to the classic Husky Boy burger stand—while pointing out quirky town features, lush Craftsman bungalows, and the vibrant art scene along Gallery Row. Finally, we wrap up the stroll at the stunning marine reserve of Crescent Bay, a perfect spot for tide pooling and taking in those breathtaking Southern California views.

It’s a good decision for the city to not have tall buildings and it adds to the aesthetics. I also like that some businesses don’t look like business buildings. Pretty town.🙂
You missed the new pizza place Truly Pizza next to Urth.
You’re right.. I did!
Cool Laguna Beach video. 🌊🌊🌊 I’ll be there the Friday August 21st. That pizza place you walked past caught my eye, near the Beach Rentals shop 🍕😋.
When you filmed this I was in Big Bear on the Lake 7,000 ft elevation 🐻🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
Hope you have a great trip to Laguna and enjoy that pizza! 😊
@YellowProductionsHello, Last Sept I went to Laguna. It was with the City of Laverne Excursion trips. We go on a large tint window passenger Coach same a I will be going on in Augest. We had lunch at the Cliff Restaurant .it over looks the beach with s sweeping ocean view. My meal there was only 19.00
I’m gonna grab a slice of pizza and head back to the Cliff Restaurant 🌊🌊🌊🌊
Enjoy
Excellent video thank you for making and sharing this. I can’t wait to go back to this beautiful town.
Laguna Beach is like the little girl with the curl. When she is good (shopping, restaurants, galleries, spectacular beaches) she is very good, but when she is bad (traffic, parking) she is horrid. I would like to mention First Thursday gallery night each month. A number of galleries are open late, and the Laguna Beach Art Museum is also open, and free that night. I like happy hour at Las Brisas or the Royal Hawaiian (ultimate tiki bar), and then see as much art as I can.
I couldn’t agree more about the traffic there! 😊
