Laguna Beach

Bask in these lesser-known pools alongside Laguna Beach, overlooking the vast serenity of the Pacific ocean. The castle-remains are beautiful to photograph, but so are the many rocky formations along the coast—they're waiting to be discovered! (follow local drone regulations and permit requirements if flying a drone)

This location is Victoria Beach's Tide Pools. Park on Pacific Coast Highway near Victoria Drive or Sunset Terrace. Walk west on Sunset Terrace and at the end of the street you'll find the public access staircase which leads to Victoria Beach. Walk down the staircase and you'll see the beach to your left. To access the pools, walk to your right (North) around the corner of the cliffs. After a few minute walk, you'll arrive at the circular pool. Be careful — If the tide is high it may difficult to access!
