Thousand Steps Beach

Long exposure of rocks in waves, giving a mist like effect over ocean in Laguna Beach, California
This is known as the “Secret Pools” in Laguna Beach and its only access is through a cave at *very low tide*. It’s a dangerous spot if you don’t know what you’re doing. A young man got sucked into a blow hole when a rogue wave struck him and he unfortunately passed away. It is best to go with a local. #localsecrets
Don't say I didn't warn you Laguna Beach 1000 steps beach - actually it isn't that many but feels like it on the way back up #Adventure

Here's what you'll see after hiking down that 1000 steps beach.

7.8/10 Good! (2,610 reviews)
We enjoyed our stay! The two room suite was perfect for our big family. Conveniently located, right across the street from Knott’s but not a far drive from Disneyland either. The cleaners were great and came and made the bed daily, which I appreciated because many places don’t offer room service cleaning anymore. The staff was very friendly. The only thing about our stay that could have been better was the floors definitely needed mopped. We had to walk around with shoes on because they were pretty dirty. But overall, I would stay here again.
