Charlie's Laguna Beach Guidebook
Favorites - Food and drink
This outdoor restaurant and bar is deck built right on top of the beach. It’s hard to get a table and they don’t take reservations.
Deck on Laguna Beach
627 Sleepy Hollow LnThis hotel has a great restaurant and a famous “Roof Top” bar. The views up and down the coast are amazing and they are known for their famous fresh fruit muttled cocktails. “The Rooftop” is a daytime only bar. The restaurant at the street level is also very good.

Selanne Steak Tavern
1464 S Coast HwyGreat ocean and sunset views. Good menu that has everything but heavy on fresh seafood. The restaurant is in a historic beachfront cottage. The bar there is low key but one of my favorites before dinner there or before dinner at any restaurant. This place has direct access to The Deck bar, my favorite daytime drinking spot. They are owned by the same person.

Laguna’s beautiful beaches- Each beach is different than the other. Each has its own strengths and characteristics. Thalia Street Beach followed by Laguna’s “Main Beach” are the closest to the my rental and both are within walking distance from my rental. It’s between a 15 or 20 minute walk each way and scenery on the walk is enjoyable. You can always Uber or Lyft back up the hill if you don’t want to walk home.
The following Beaches are my (and other locals) favorite spots. I suggest you google search them for good photo’s of each as they are all so different.
Victoria Beach, Laguna Beach,
The Pirate Tower, Laguna beach,
1000 Steps Beach, South Laguna,
Moss Street Beach, South Laguna
Crescent Bay Beach, North Laguna
Treasure Island Beach, South Laguna
Aliso Pier State Beach
El Moro State Beach at Crystal Cove
- Again, please google to see location and pictures .
Enjoy! Regards,

Dana Point has a very large harbor with plenty of restaurants that overlook it. It’s roughly 15 to 20 minutes away from the rental with traffic on PCH with great ocean views on the drive.
