Casa Laguna Inn - Laguna Beach California Bed and Breakfast

Beaches and Coves - Laguna Beach is famous for its miles of white sand beaches. Beautiful Victoria Beach is a short stroll from Casa Laguna and is known for its soft white sand, beautiful blue-green water, impressive residences (old and new) and its famous residents. Moss Point sits just to the north of Casa Laguna. Moss point offers a close-up look at marine wild life and nature's progress in its tide pools, sheer cliffs and rock formations. Further north are Laguna's Main Beach and Heisler Park. Main Beach is the center of the "Beach Life" in Laguna with the famous Lifeguard Headquarters Station surrounded by volleyball and basketball courts, art exhibits, craft festivals and all activities related to the ocean (snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, etc...). Heisler Park winds along the most scenic cliffs on the California Coast. A walk through the park offers the observer prime examples of the natural architecture, flora and fauna of the California Sea Coast. To the south of the hotel is Thousand Steps Beach which offers great body surfing, skim boarding and volleyball courts. Treasure Island Park is also nearby and we have beach chairs and umbrellas available for you to use.

Rather than a casual stroll or an afternoon relaxing on the beach, how about A Day at the Beach learning how to surf, play volleyball or both? Professional Beach Volleyball star Justin Perlstrom is the Head Coach at the USA Volleyball School located in Laguna Beach. Sponsored professional surfer Kasey Curtis runs the Surf School. Private and group lessons available from 60 minutes to full days with organized tournaments.

You may wish to enjoy a leisurely meal in your room or one of the secluded patios around the hotel. On request, picnic baskets can also be prepared.

Wine Tasting – Yes, wine tasting in Orange County! Thirty minutes from Casa Laguna is an excellent, family owned vineyard and winery. Hamilton Oaks has been producing great wines since 1993. After building their home in Trabuco Canyon, the Tamez Family planted grapes on the hillsides adjacent to their property. The product turned out to be of great quality so rather than selling to one of the large wineries, they decided to give wine making a try for themselves. The results are some terrific wines including Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Zinfandel. The drive from the Casa Laguna to the Hamilton Oaks Winery is beautiful and offers a rare glimpse of Orange County’s rich history as an agricultural powerhouse. Phone: (949) 459-6913
