Stretching from Table Rock Beach to the Montage Laguna Beach, South Laguna Village is a serene coastal enclave defined by rugged bluffs, secluded coves, and sweeping Pacific vistas. It’s known for a quieter, more secluded atmosphere than downtown—beautiful coves and beaches tucked below the cliffs, distinctive historic cottages, and a small collection of beloved local eateries and shops along Coast Highway. Locals gather for sunset at Thousand Steps Beach and enjoy bluff-top walks through the parkland surrounding the Montage resort district.
