About Laguna Beach
Laguna Beach is Orange County's artist colony — a canyon-and-cove coastal city where the Festival of Arts, Pageant of the Masters, and Sawdust Art Festival have run for generations. Heisler Park's bluff-top lawns, the tide pools, and coves like Woods Cove and Treasure Island define its shoreline, while Laguna Canyon's galleries and the Laguna Playhouse anchor its arts identity. Strict growth controls and the surrounding wilderness keep it a small-town enclave with big-city culture.
