What Locals Say about Laguna Beach

  • Sabrina Skelly
    "Good family neighborhood, nice area, low crime. No sidewalks, so street infrastructure can be unsafe. Parks are driving distance, not many parks in walking distance. PCH and bad drivers are a larger risk. "

    "I think it’s important that parents take their kids to the parks in the neighborhood and Laguna for their kids to play with each other. The baseball team through Laguna Beach and school activities are incredible. I see a lot of the high school kids and my grandson as well surfing down at Thalia Street"

    "I live in Rancho Laguna neighborhood and it is totally different from the village. It is where we join the world of nature and the ocean Surrounding it. We also have much better parking and a designated trolley to bring us into the village. One day you see a family of coyotes raising their young and the next you see deer frolicking in the meadow. It is the secret sanctuary of Orange County. "
