Laguna Beach, about an hour south of Los Angeles, offers a beautiful clifftop location above some of California's best beaches. Outdoor enthusiasts may swim, scuba dive, body surf, or trek the trails at Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, which is close. The Sawdust Art Festival, Festival of Arts/Pageant of the Masters, Art-A-Fair, and Plein Air Painting Invitational are among the exceptional events and festivals held in this artist community. The Laguna Art Museum focuses on painters from California. Window shoppers and collectors will love wandering through the village's charming alleys and visiting galleries along Pacific Coast Highway.
