Things To Do

Food & Drinks

Laguna Coffee Company

Zinc Cafe & Market

A Laguna Beach staple. Great cafe downtown, perfect for breakfast or lunch!

Skyloft Laguna Beach

Restaurant downtown with a rooftop and amazing views

The Saloon

Chill bar with beer and cocktails.

South of Nick's Laguna Beach

A favorite lunch/dinner destination for Sam and Jon in Laguna.

Sapphire

The Deck

Beachside deck bar/restaurant with beautiful ocean views

230 Forest Ave

Casual and delicious restaurant off the main shopping area in downtown Laguna

Las Brisas

Beautiful spot right on the Laguna cliffs. Great for brunch, or really any other meal

Laguna Beach Beer Company

Casual spot for food and beer. Join the bride and groom here Sunday afternoon for a farewell lunch!

Gulfstream

Sam and Jon's favorite restaurant in Newport Beach! Quick 15 minute drive down PCH from Laguna.

Golden Road Brewing Anaheim

If you're in Anaheim, stop at Golden Road Brewery! Lots of beer, seltzer, and food options in an indoor/outdoor beer garden.

Entertainment & Fun

Thousand Steps Beach

One of the best beach spots in Laguna (walking down 1,000 steps is not actually required). Street parking or take the free Laguna Beach Trolley.

Treasure Island Beach

Another beautiful beach recommendation, located behind Montage Resort. Street parking or take the free Laguna Beach trolley.

Valido Trail

Short (steep at times) hike, spectacular ocean views at the top. Stop at Papa's Tacos and chill on the beach after.

Crystal Cove State Park

Beautiful, beachside state park located right off PCH. Grab lunch at The Beachcomber inside the park too!

Disneyland

The original and superior Disney park experience. Sam spent countless Friday nights here with Man of Honor Aj in the 2010's. For all those who have been to Disney World and think Disneyland is an afterthought, you are mistaken. If you have the time and love fun and food, highly recommend making the detour!

The Richard Nixon Library & Museum

An inevitable recommendation. For those who don't know, Sam's hometown of Yorba Linda is the birthplace of President Richard Nixon, and the location of his Presidential Library. Sam has only successfully convinced Jon to visit this museum once, can you beat his record?? *Actually a very well-run museum that provides an in-depth and objective overview of Nixon's life and presidency.
