Orange County
Location and general information
Laguna Beach, situated on the U.S. 1 below Newport Beach, stretches for more than 5mi/8km along the Pacific Ocean and must be one of the most beautiful places in California. There are bays, both small and large, lovely beaches, parks on the cliffs
overlooking the sea, and a charming town center with numerous boutiques, craft shops and interesting inns. In the sixties the hippies settled in Laguna Beach but soon disappeared from the scene. The disastrous fire of autumn 1993 reduced more than 300 of the town's buildings to rubble and ashes.
Many events are held here throughout the year, such as the six-week-long Festival of Arts and Pageant of the Masters in July and August, and the Sawdust Festival at about the same time (sale of objets d'art and craft items).
