One of the world’s most famous art colonies,
Laguna Beach dates back to the early 1900’s and is renowned
for its beautiful rocky coastline, white sand beaches and intimate
coves. Cottages and mansions are intermingled in this oceanfront
community, offering hilltop homes with
magnificent views, ocean
front homes steps from the crashing waves and quaint cottages in
the “village”.
Over three million visitors flock to this nine square mile, picturesque
community, with seven miles of beautiful tranquil beaches as a
haven for rest and relaxation. You can feel the sea breezes as
you walk downtown, browsing the city’s antique shops, boutiques
and world class art galleries.
More a colony, a community, than a city. Laguna has attracted
many of Hollywood’s famous for decades. Among those who have
maintained homes here are Bette Davis, Judy Garland, Rudolph Valentino,
Charlie Chaplin, Mickie Roonie, Rock Hudson, Bette Midler and Heather
Locklear. Some of the early stars founded the Laguna Playhouse.
Built in 1920, it remains the oldest continuously operating theatre
company on the west coast.
Laguna Beach is located on the coast midway between San Diego
and Los Angeles, nestled between the foothills and the blue Pacific
Ocean. The extraordinary beauty, quaint village atmosphere and
special community of people make Laguna Beach the crown jewel of
Orange County.
