LAGUNA BEACH CALIFORNIA
Dreaming of Laguna Beach
By Caitlin Moore
So ideal that it serves as the backdrop to a television show about
privileged teenagers with nothing better to do than tan and talk about
their love lives, Laguna Beach is a gorgeous locale that, for smarter
people anyway, tends to inspire more delight than drama. Head here
for a temporary break from reality (not a lifetime one) and enjoy a
vacation that will make you feel like a superstar.
The scenery and beach activities are what give Laguna Beach its
toehold when it comes to surpassing most other places as a hot
vacation destination, but there’s a lot to do besides frolic in the surf
wearing your new bikini. This city in Orange County is actually
brimming with art festivals, nature facilities, heritage tours and much
more. The expected shopping, spas, tennis and golf are all up for
grabs as well, but don’t think that this place is as vacuous as the silly
kids who represent it.
The Festival of Arts held here each summer has reached a world-
renowned status thanks to the living portraits presented to music and
narration. The Sawdust Art Festival is more low-key and focuses on
local talents, while the Laguna Dance Festival attracts dancers and
dance-lovers for a showcase of grace, beauty and athleticism each
October. If any of these have snagged your attention, check your
calendar so that your visit coincides with one of these hot-ticket
special events.
Laguna Coast Wilderness Park offers the chance for adventure and
exercise seekers to take a three hour hike, and Crystal Cove State
Park reveals a string of tide pools to examine. Ocean kayaking,
dolphin and whale watching, surfing and scuba diving can all be
arranged, too, so check out the offerings of Mother Nature and relish
the untainted beauty of this area.
Laguna has its very own winery, so if you’ve always wanted to see
grapes go from solid to liquid here is your chance. Sample the tasty
results and pick up a bottle to bring back as the perfect souvenir. On
the topic of taste buds, a culinary school will give you a few lessons if
you feel like brushing up on your kitchen skills, or if you’d rather let
someone else do the work, visit one of the many fabulous restaurants.
California takes dining very seriously, and you’ll find this area to be
dotted with a number of incredible restaurants. From Asian fusion to
old-school Italian, there’s something here for every taste.
Work off those calories (they were well worth it) by tying on your tennis
shoes and hitting the courts. The greens will also call to all golfers out
there, and no coastal vacation is complete without a high-spirited
game of beach volleyball. Biking and walking the palm tree-lined
streets are also excellent ways to stay fit and feel good, so embrace
the activity-oriented atmosphere and keep moving all the way through
your trip.
If you’re a nightlife kind of person, take comfort in knowing that there
are plenty of spots to groove and sip until the break of day, so settle
into a comfy booth with your love or hit the dance floor and meet new
people, whatever you desire will surely find an outlet in this fun loving
place. That’s one Southern California stereotype that’s true; they like to
party down here.
Whether you have art acquiring, sun tanning, or celebrity gazing in
mind, it can all be best accomplished by means of a Laguna Beach
Vacation Rental. These fabulous properties will house you in comfort
and style while giving you a bit of privacy; they’ll also encourage you to
pretend you’re off on holiday, awaiting your next big break from
Hollywood…Even if you have no aspirations to fame, consider a trip to
Laguna Beach so that, at the very least, you can try to understand the
mindset of those lucky young residents of this stunning place. Just
don’t let all the sunshine and beauty go to your head.
