An artist town with small boutique galleries, a small beach and great restaurants. We suggest going here for more of a sightseeing trip rather than a day at the beach. Great beaches can be found up and down the coast from this location. In summer the traffic can be terrible on Laguna Canyon Road, so head out early or late in the afternoon. Despite the traffic it is a really cute little town.
