Safest beaches for swimming

Hi everyone I am looking for some local advice. I am bringing my friend from out of town to Laguna and she loves to swim. However I’ve been going to Laguna all summer (mostly montage or Victoria beach) and the waves have been super scary. What would you say the best and calmest beaches are for swimming at this time? Thank you !!

Hello, Laguna Beach locals! me and my gf are having a getaway weekend in Laguna Beach this weekend and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on what to do as a couple.

We were gonna arrive Friday evening around 7pm. I was thinking of checking out Pageant of the Master Friday night but maybe someone has a rec that's a little more involved like even a little shopping for trinkets or some sightseeing. or we may just walk the beach at night together and watch the sunset.

For Saturday, we have most of the day planned but was wondering if anyone can recommend a place to dance for Saturday night. She likes salsa dancing so i thought Cafe Sevilla in Costa Mesa. But any other place to dance (that doesn't play top 40s music) would do. Ok, thanks in advance!

$75 ticket for what?

"NO PAYMENT/PERMIT FOUND. PERMIT POORLY DISPLAYED. PHOTOS TAKEN."

First time to Treasure Island Beach yesterday with the family, and we're confused. We parked in the small parking garage, paid immediately, put the ticket on the dash, and returned before our end time.

If we're missing something obvious please let me know. Photo of our receipt right where we left it. Photo taken around 140pm.

I have found where to appeal it, can't seem to find any of these "photos" so I assume they're only available after the appeal starts.

We're baffled. Great beach BTW.

Missed connection: DJ spinning tunes at big party in Bluebird Canyon last night

At least I hope it was a human DJ and not an AI robot or a Spotify playlist so I can hire them for something. I live nearby, those beats were gas, and yes, I'm being completely serious. Any info welcome!

Life Flight helicopter landing at Treasure Beach today

Police were on the beach as well. Anyone know what happened? I hope they end up being OK. Waves were crazy today but I don't think a water incident would bring out the police.

Beach day possible on Saturday?

Hello, we just moved to the area for school. we want to check out laguna beach on a Saturday. what is the best way to do this? I've heard about parking at shuttle lots and taking the free shuttles into town. Is that a reliable way, given we want to go on a saturday in August? or do those lots fill up? is it better to just pay for the parking in town? what is the best time to get there? or is there a better beach to go to?

Laguna Beach vacation - looking for a full experience!

Hi! I want to visit Laguna Beach in March-April. Someone said the town has a beautiful smell around this time. I’m really into fragrance so I plan on making a trip next year.

I don’t know much about the town, but since I’m visiting next year, I want to save up so I can have the full experience!

  1. Lodging - can anyone recommend any special AirBnBs, bed & breakfasts, or other unique lodging?
  2. Food - give me all your favorite recommendations!
  3. Beaches - what do you recommend?
  4. Getting around town - how pedestrian friendly is it? Should I plan on renting a car? (Otherwise very comfortable with walking)
  5. What unique activities should I do when I’m in town? Shopping, hikes, museums, etc.

Thank you!

Edit: original thread talking about the fragrances in the air :) https://www.reddit.com/r/perfumesthatfeellike/s/ekUn8eVXDg

First time visitor

As the title states, visiting for the first time. I'm staying in Long Beach but going to Laguna for the day. What are the quintessential beaches to visit? I'd really like to see tide pools and then find a good swim beach. Are the trolleys the best way to get around? Good food recommendations are also appreciated. Thanks :)

How busy is Top Of The World on weekday sunsets?

I wanted to take my gf to Laguna for a day and catch sunset at top of the world but it looks pretty busy

How bad is it on weekdays?

Are there any similar spots that aren't as crowded?

Trolley annoyance

Why does the (long coastal) trolley do that thing at the Main Beach stop where they take a trolley out of service and make everybody get off and load up one that eventually pulls up behind? I get that there is a need to switch trolleys as the day goes on, but why at the Main Beach stop, which basically guarantees that the maximum number of people will be inconvenienced? Why not at the Broadway hub, where there are fewer passengers and more shaded places to wait? Or at literally any other less busy stop, like Diver’s Cove or Jasmine?

Trash can take out service

Does anyone know of a company or person that would service an Emerald Bay house to take cans out for an elderly every Sunday evening? I checked with WM and they don’t provide this service to EBay residents.
