Need we say more... This iconic beach is beautiful, and the shops and restaurants are adorable. This is the closest beach to the wedding hotel. Take a walk to Heisler Park if you can, the views are amazing. Check out the Skyloft Laguna Beach or the Rooftop Lounge for food and drinks with a view. Also if you are in the mood for a good hike with the ocean in the background, check out Top of the World - https://hikingguy.com/hiking-trails/hiking-orange-county/top-of-the-world-hike-laguna-beach/.
Filled with antique shops, restaurants, and bars - Old Towne Orange brings that old time charm to California. We hang out here weekly, you can normally find us at the Haven (awesome gastropub - get the burger), Chapman Brewing (if you want to try some local beer), the Taco Stand (for quick street tacos and elote), or Contra Coffee & Tea (best iced coffee in town). Happy to provide more recommendations in the circle if you'd like.
The definition of California food hall with over 30 artisans. Basically any food you could want plus a wine tasting room across the street, Pali Wine. And did we mention two of our favorite breweries only blocks away, Monkish and Modern Times Leisuretown (MT also has a pool and a great coffee bar).
