Laguna Beach is a seaside resort and artist community located in southern Orange County. It is known for having some of the most beautiful beaches in southern California. The city has great hotels, unique shops and restaurants and world-famous art galleries and art festivals.

Originally occupied by homesteaders who struggled to farm the unfruitful land, residents from inland Orange County soon began arriving to beat the heat. The locals started to rent their beachfront homes out to these visitors, and Laguna Beach was now a tourist destination.

Every type of home is represented in Laguna Beach. From 1920?s bungalows through 1950?s ranch style and modern luxury estates, Laguna Beach continues to be a popular destination for those seeking the laid-back southern California beach life.
