We approach our beaches differently here. Some are difficult to find. Some are too fragile for large crowds. And some don\u2019t have restrooms, trash bins, or safe access. For most visitors, Main Beach, Aliso Beach and Crystal Cove provide the best experiences. We encourage you to find the right beach for your visit;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Find well-marked access points.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visit beaches with lifeguards and facilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow posted signs, rules and local etiquette.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visit areas that can handle more visitors without harm to our protected coves, tidepools and sea life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Understand and join of the local rhythm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pack out what you pack in\u2014and even more if you see trash left behind.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow our Steward\u2019s Guide to Laguna Beach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">And remember: If it looks pristine, that\u2019s because a lot of volunteers and locals work hard to keep it that way.
