"Locally known"

This section of beach just south of Main Beach in Laguna is mostly known by the locals, or those who stumble upon it.  Our boys love it because of the big rock to climb on and the smaller rocks to see the waves crash upon.  My husband and I love it because there are so many fewer people here than at Main Beach and yet it is still beautiful.

A large staircase is the only access to this beach so don't plan on using a stroller.  No bathrooms are available so plan ahead of time for this necessity.  We just stay as long as we can until it's time "to go"!  

We like stopping at KFC (on PCH just north of Main Beach) for some chicken wraps and then head to this beach for an evening dinner, some football in the sand, wave splashing and sunset watching.

Parking is limited to a few metered spots on Cress Street.  There are some spots across PCH from the beach that I believe are free.  Amazingly, we usually find a spot (metered) somewhere near Cress St.
