Visitors come from all over the world to

experience the beautiful coastline of

Laguna Beach, California. If you and your

family plan to fly into town, the closest

airport is John Wayne Airport (SNA). By

car, Laguna Beach is a one-hour drive

from Los Angeles, and a little over an

hour from San Diego. It also makes a

great weekend trip from inland Riverside

or San Bernardino counties.

Southern California is beautiful nearly

year-round. The only time to avoid is

June, in order to skip the cloudy

season known affectionately as “June

Gloom.” Your family may also want to

avoid the mid-summer season if you

are looking for a quieter vacation, as

Laguna Beach is known to get crowded

during festivals and similar events.

Enjoy the perfect stay with a California

vacation beach rental from Sunset Cove.

With your family’s choice of one to three-

bedroom villa accommodations, your stay

has been created with the utmost

comfort, convenience, and pleasure in

mind. Outside your home away from

home at Sunset Cove, you’ll have private

beach access and controlled security

entry for a quiet and leisurely trip.

Laguna Beach is home to excellent and varied cuisine:

• Indulge in decadent French-Californian cuisine from Studio Restaurant.

• Try south-of-the-border favorites from Carmelita’s. The Enchiladas de Marisco

and pineapple margarita are not to be missed.

• For breakfast with the whole family, Nick’s is a must.

• See a show at Laguna Playhouse: Choose from a variety of productions, including

local premieres as well as plays endorsed by the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle.

• Take a self-guided walking tour: Maps are available at the Visitors Center, which will

take you past views of historic bungalows and cottages built by early Laguna residents.

• Visit Laguna Art Museum: Let kids get in touch with their creative side at this

charming local museum.

If oceanside fun is what you’re after, it’s hard

to find better beach options than those in the

Laguna area. There’s something for everyone,

from natural rock formations dotting the

sand, to views of resting sea lions. Laguna also

has a rich surf history, which makes for great

people-watching.

• A kayak tour along the coast is one way to get a relaxed yet immersive firsthand glimpse

into the area’s ocean ecosystem.

• Though the coast of Laguna Beach is a protected marine reserve, Pole Fishing and Sport

Fishing Rentals are close by in Dana Point and Newport Beach.

• Jet Ski Rentals are also available in nearby Dana Point.

• Parking is limited all over town. Look into paid

lots, or rent bikes for your stay.

• During the summer festival season, the city

offers a free shuttle that runs along the Pacific

Coast Highway, in case parking is chaotic.

• Bring a jacket. Southern California is known

for warm days and cool nights, so you’ll want

to be prepared when the sun goes down.

• You may want to leave Fido at home: pets

aren’t allowed on the beach during the busy

summer months.

Our family-friendly villas and extended-stay accommodations boast an atmosphere for

kicking back and enjoying all the Laguna Beach area has to offer, from art festivals to
