Laguna Beach is about 98% stunning views so it’s almost impossible to specify one place as the MOST stunning. But I’m going out on a limb by doing just that!
Overlooking Treasure Island Beach is a perfectly manicured pathway that wanders along the Montage hotel. The views are jaw-dropping gorgeous! You’ll find tables for picnicking, stairways to the water, benches to sit and admire the views, and plenty of grass for yoga or relaxing!
If you’re not a hotel guest look for parking along PCH (Coast Highway) and walk towards Montage Resort Drive. Turn onto Montage Resort Drive and follow the pathway and stairs towards the water. Once you’re at the end you can walk the pathway left or right to enjoy the coastal scenery.
Another option is to start by parking at Treasure Island Park (31001 South Coast Highway, Laguna Beach, Ca. 92651) just south of the Montage Hotel.
Starting at Treasure Island Park will get you the maximum experience since that is the south end of the coastal pathway. Start walking north and you’ll pass the hotel on your right. The sparkling water is to your left! Follow the pathway up until you come to the loop, where you can turn around and head back for a second dose of views! It’s amazing how the views seem different from both directions; must be something about the position of the sun in the sky. Speaking of which, don’t forget sunscreen and sunglasses or a hat!
If walking along the pathway isn’t enough to satisfy you, there is a ramp leading to the sand at the very north end of the pathway. Another way down is a stairway almost exactly halfway along the pathway.
Can’t get enough of these stunning views? Watch my Instagram Reel and follow me along the coastline!
