Huggers
From mountain biking to stand-up
paddling to whale-watching tours-
there is something for every kind
of adventurer along the coast of
Laguna Beach.
Travelers can get their endorphins flowing and get closer to
nature with kayak and paddleboard
tours of the North Laguna Beach
coastline, where you'll see kelp forests, sea lions and reefs just below
the surface dotted with brightly
colored fish. And if you're ready
for the ultimate California experience, suit up in your wetsuit for a
surf or standup paddling lesson at
Laguna's famous surf spot, Thalia
Beach, with La Vida Laguna. The
semiprivate lessons are limited to
three students to every instructor,
and the two-hour lessons allow you
ample time to learn to paddle out,
wave judgment, surf etiquette and
pop-up techniques.
Hikers and runners can trade
their morning run for a trip or two
or three up and down the stairs
at Thousand Steps Beach, where
the scenery helps distract you
from the task at hand. Or hike on

coastal trails near Crystal Cove
State Park or the hillside trails at
Alta Laguna Park.
A favorite pastime is observing
interesting sea life, from hermit
crabs to mussels and even lobsters,
that inhabit the shallow saltwater
tide pools revealed during low tide
along Laguna Beach's coastline.
Explore these fascinating ocean
habitats at popular spots such as
Pearl Street Beach, Shaw's Cove,

Treasure Island Park, Rockpile and
Picnic Beach. During peak summer
months and holiday weekends,
docents are available to answer
questions at several tide pool sites.
Stop by the Official Visitors Center
at 381 Forest Ave. for daily tide
schedules, or view the schedule on
the Visit Laguna Beach app.
Expert Tip: Greg
MacGillivray,
longtime
Laguna resident, environmentalist
and president
of MacGillivray
Freeman Films,
believes the outdoors easily facilitates the ultimate day because
Laguna offers unparalleled scenery. "Lagunatics have a concern
for nature, so we've all fought
hard to keep our ocean and our
hills natural and healthy," he says.
Though the outdoorsman enjoys
a mountain bike ride through the
trails in Laguna Canyon, as well
as surfing at Thalia Street Beach,
he suggests starting with a SUP
session. "Stand-up paddle is
better in Laguna than anywhere
else because of our clean water ...,
[which is] due to our city capturing storm-drain runoff before it
reaches the sea," he says, adding
that Laguna's no-take zone and
Marine Protected Area are "allowing
the fish to come back."
