Our Five for Five blog series focuses on what to see and do while
you’re in Laguna Beach. This first story will cover “5 Romantic Places” you can
take your special someone to in Laguna Beach.
ROAST MARSHMALLOWS AT ALISO BEACH PARK
After dinner in town, surprise your sweetheart with dessert on the beach. Aliso Creek Beach is the
only beach in Laguna that has fire pits to keep you warm, while watching the
sun set over the Pacific. Grab a bundle of wood, skewers and marshmallows and
pull up a spot on the sand to enjoy a memorable dessert with your one and only.

Open 6am to 10pm
Parking: $1 per an hour
Fire pits are available on a first-come,
first-serve basis.
STROLL ON THE
MAIN BEACH BOARDWALK
Main Beach
is located in the heart of Laguna, where Broadway and Ocean Avenue intersect at
Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). Here you can see the historic Lifeguard Tower (built
in 1929 and originally located across the street at a gas station), pick up a
game of basketball or volleyball, or relax in the warm sand. But, when you come with your sweetheart, grab
their hand and take a stroll down the boardwalk, which runs the length of the
beach. On the second Sunday of most months you can meander through the LagunaCraft Fair on the Main Beach cobblestones. Whatever you decide to do, you’ll enjoy it because
you’re with your sweetheart.

PICNIC IN HEISLER PARK
Heisler Park sits above the Laguna shoreline between Cliff
Dr. and Myrtle St. providing vistas out over Bird Rock, Rockpile Beach, Picnic
Beach and Divers Cove. Watch paddle boarders and surfers ride the waves
alongside dolphins from one of the many vista points. The ample grass areas
under the shade of the trees or in the warmth of the sun make it the perfect
spot for a picnic. Order a picnic basket lunchto-go from
Laguna Culinary Arts or Sapphire Laguna Pantry, or bring your own and enjoy the stunning views of the coastline.
After, stroll through the park and view several public art pieces on display,
including one piece remembering 9/11, ‘Semper Memento,’ made from the beams of New
York’s Twin Towers. Watch the sunset
from the gazebo, or take the stairs down and dip your toes in the ocean.

Metered parking along Cliff Drive
CATCH THE VIEW AT TOP OF THE WORLD
As one of the highest points in Laguna Beach, Top of the
World will give you a panoramic view of Laguna’s hills and canyon areas as they
sweep down to meet the coastline. Imagine standing there and breathing deep as
the ocean air blows through your hair on its way into the valley of Orange
County. Across the street at Alta Laguna Park, you can see unobstructed views
of Orange County out towards Saddleback Mountain. This is one of the most
fantastic and romantic views in all of Laguna Beach. Hint: If you’re feeling
adventurous, pack your hiking shoes and take one of the trails to explore the
wild side of Laguna.
Top of the World Vista Point and Alta Laguna
Park
3325 Alta Laguna Blvd. (at the top of Park
Ave.)
Parking is free along the street and at Alta
Laguna Park
TAKE A SUNSET WALK ON THE BEACH
With seven miles of pristine coastline and more than 20
unique beaches and coves, the hardest part of coming to Laguna Beach with your
sweetheart is deciding which beach you’re going to explore. Main Beach is a popular
choice, but if you’re looking for something a little more secluded, try
Treasure Island in South Laguna or Sleepy Hollow Beach, which is just south of
the downtown area, off of Sleepy Hollow Lane. It doesn’t get more romantic than
a walk on the sand while taking in a sunset, so kick off those shoes and grab
the hand of the one you love and make a run for the shore.
Do you have a special romantic spot that you like to go to
in Laguna Beach? Let us know.
