Laguna Beach
Crescent Bay

One of several hidden coves in Laguna Beach, this beach is known for its beautiful turquoise colored water. Typically this beach has light to moderate crowds due to it's hidden location as well as lack of parking but during hot summer weekends it can get somewhat crowded. If you visit during a hot summer weekend, you'll need to arrive early or utilize Laguna Beach's free trolley service.
This is a must-see spot for tourists as well as residents. Since you will need to park in a residential area to access this beach, please have respect and don't block driveways or play loud music. This beach has a restroom and lifeguards.
Directions:
To get here you will need to get onto PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) and turn towards the ocean onto Cliff Drive and find a parking spot anywhere in this block and look for 1 of 2 pathways down to the beach.
