Things To Do
1000 Steps Beach
Not quite a thousand steps (more like 218) but certainly a steep and winding flight of stairs that descend down to this stunning beach. But for those adventurous few who do brave the steep steps (found just north of 9th Street with metered street parking nearby), the reward is immense. If you head south along the shoreline, you’ll come to Laguna’s most famous fully walkthrough sea cave.
Book a tee time
El Niguel Country Club's championship 18-hole course is regarded as one of Southern California's best by touring professionals, serious amateur players and general enthusiasts. A comprehensive tee-to-green renovation has infused a contemporary energy into all 7,208 yards, further enhancing a compelling layout that can be played over and over again. Only 20 minutes from the wedding venue!
Wine Tasting in the Canyon
The Laguna Canyon Winery offers award-winning wines that have been specially handcrafted on-site. Premium grapes are selected from small, low-yield vineyards in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, ensuring taste, quality and flavor. Less than 15 minutes from our wedding venue!
Fashion Island
With panoramic ocean views and towering palm trees, Fashion Island is Southern California's premier open-air center offering a unique coastal luxury shopping experience. You'll find nearly 200 specialty shops, prestigious department stores, and more than 30 restaurants. Featuring stores such as Neiman Marcus, Alo, Gucci, Travis Matthew, and More!
