Laguna Beach📍 My #1 Favorite Beach in LA 🌊💙

After more than a year exploring countless beaches across the US, I still find myself dreaming of every single second spent at Laguna Beach in Los Angeles. 🚗 Driving & Parking Tips: • Navigate to Frozen Yogurt — a super popular American-style ice cream shop right by the beach. You can search for parking nearby. • It gets busy with both tourists and locals, so parking can be tight ⚠️ • Some metered street parking is available, usually with a 2-hour limit. 🍦 Hidden Gem Ice Cream Shop: • Frozen Yogurt • Queue up, choose your flavor — the staff even let you sample options with little spoons! Super friendly and patient. • Their cones are delicious, not too sweet, generously sized, and totally retro — classic American vibes 🍦❤️ 📷 Secret Photo Spot: • Right outside the ice cream shop stands a huge banyan tree 🌳 — a classic Southern California feature, but this one is especially photogenic and full of character! (See pic 8) 🌅 Must-Do Experiences: • Who wouldn’t want to catch California’s iconic pink sunset? The gradient shift into orange is absolutely breathtaking and deeply soothing. • Watch surfers ride the waves or join the lively games of beach volleyball and basketball — the energy here is contagious and full of freedom! ✨ Pro Tips: • Head out early if you plan to watch the sunset — avoid peak hours to snag a good parking spot. • This beach is loved by both locals and visitors alike. While there aren’t big BBQ or snack stands, the clean environment and relaxed vibe are top-notch! 🌊 Final Thoughts: What makes Laguna so special is its lack of over-commercialization. Instead, you’ll find locally-owned art galleries and quirky collector’s shops — it’s all about natural beauty and that priceless sense of freedom. Have you been to Laguna Beach?
