The City of Laguna Beach in Orange County is well known as a unique beach community and artist’s colony with seven miles of City beaches running along its nine square miles. The resident population enjoys the ambiance provided by the sandy beaches, canyons and coastal hills. During the summer, several million visitors are drawn to the resort environment for its picturesque beaches, art festivals and the Pageant of the Masters. Laguna’s village scale shopping district, blufftop walkways and tram system create a pedestrian environment and scale which is unique in Southern California.

The city has remained relatively isolated from urban encroachment by its surrounding hills, limited highway access, and a dedicated greenbelt. 5.88 miles of the Laguna Beach coastline is protected by a state marine reserve and an additional 1.21 miles are designated as a state conservation area (information from The City of Laguna Beach).
