We have a long history of conservation in Laguna Beach<\/a> that dates back to the Indigenous tribes of the area and the first homesteaders along our shores. We pride ourselves on prioritizing our planet and maintaining a place you can feel good about visiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 7 miles of pristine coastline to enjoy and more than 22,000 acres of wilderness to explore, Laguna Beach offers an unparalleled outdoor experience, you can only get in California. From skimboard and surfing competitions, to the quiet beauty of the tide pools, and hills that go for miles, there is something for everyone to discover<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Leave No Trace Initiative<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Leave No Trace<\/a> is an internationally recognized conservation organization. Their mission is to use the power of science, education and stewardship to ensure a sustainable future for the outdoors and the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laguna Beach has partnered with Leave No Trace to develop six principles that encapsulate the long standing priority of the city to protect both the land and sea that surrounds Laguna Beach. These spaces are affectionately referred to by locals as the green belt and the blue belt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
