It's a cool thing to see, but doesn't take more than 10 minutes. There's no plaque or anything to do around it. You just kind of see it and that's it.

Keep in mind, the tower is tucked away, so it might take a bit of effort to find, and you should check the tide schedule to ensure safe access. But once you do, it’s absolutely worth it. If you’re in Laguna Beach, don’t miss out on this unique and...
