Laguna Beach Tour Guide
A couple of weekends ago, we stayed down in Laguna Beach with my in-laws who flew into town and it was such a great getaway. We always love love whenever we have visitors come to California so it was such a treat to stay with them at the Surf & Sand Resort and enjoy one of our favorite spots on California. Since living here, we have spent a lot of time in Newport and Laguna Beach area because when our family or friends come to vacation at the beach in the summer - this is where everyone comes. They don't usually come to the beaches in LA, I think because it's so family friendly and easier to get around down there. We have a lot of favorite places we always try and stop when we're there, so I thought I'd put together a little tour guide and I'd love to hear what your favorites are so we can try them next time! Thanks so much for reading.
