Laguna Beach: My Home Sweet Home! 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) Laguna Beach has been my home my whole life and I absolutely love this city! The beautiful sunsets on the amazing beaches are like no other. The weather is so amazing especially in the summers. The winters are also very mild so if you like warmer weather you would love Laguna Bea ...Read More ch!

There is a lot to see and do in the community. There are a number of bars and restaurants to hangout at or to grab a quick bite. Nick's Laguna Beach is definitely my favorite place to grab a bite to eat. The food is delicious! I also love The Loft too; the views are incredible! Living in Laguna Beach you definitely get that small town feel that makes it really feel like home. One negative aspect I find about the city is that the traffic can get kind of heavy from time to time.

It can be pretty expensive to live in the Laguna Beach area. The area is definitely a sought after place to live in California. The best areas in Laguna Beach are probably Main Beach and Aliso Beach Park. Both are gorgeous beaches and fun for surfing! Read Less
