Victoria Beach in Laguna Beach

Category: Area Description

Victoria Beach in Laguna Beach

Victoria Beach in Laguna Beach

Victoria Beach is located off Victoria Street off Coast Highway in South Laguna Beach. It is a beautiful beach and private location which and a great place to explore, swim, and skim board.

Victoria Beach does have public access off Victoria, and it is a fairly easy walk down the stairs, definitely not as steep as 1000 Steps Beach in Laguna Beach. Victoria Beach does have very nice sandy beaches, and there is an on shore break, and rip tides do come up occasionally. It can be treacherous if there is larger surf or high tide. It is always recommended to swim near a lifeguard.

Victoria Beach does not have facilities on the beach. Victoria Beach is a marine protected area.

Victoria Beach in Laguna Beach

It is a pretty interesting beach however, because if you hike across the rocks, there is an old light tower, and a pool which was constructed some time ago. The pool fills with the ocean when the tide is high.

It is a beautiful beach, and does have homes located in the area. There is also a private gated area called Lagunita and the residents of Lagunita utilize this beach as well.
