Small places, by the numbers
Where a site gives a room count, Tides Laguna has 21 rooms, Hotel Joaquin 22, Laguna Surf Lodge 41 and Capri Laguna 45. Arabella Laguna rents cottages, studios and suites. Most describe themselves as boutique hotels on their own sites. They sit in four parts of town: North Laguna along North Coast Highway, the Village, the HIP District on South Coast Highway, and Victoria Beach.
No bed and breakfast is listed. The two properties that Visit Laguna Beach files under bed and breakfast, Casa Laguna and Costa Art Hotel, call themselves hotels on their own sites.
North Coast Highway
Most of the properties on this page are in North Laguna. Casa Loma Beach Hotel, Tides Laguna, Laguna Beach House and Arabella Laguna sit between the 200 and 500 blocks of North Coast Highway. Hotel Joaquin is farther up the highway, and Costa Art Hotel is farther again, one block from Crescent Bay Beach. The cards give each property’s address and what its site lists.
Heisler Park is the bluff-top park on Cliff Drive, and Tides Laguna’s site places it within walking distance. The art walk page covers the town’s monthly gallery walk. Arabella’s site places its cottages at the north end of Gallery Row.
South Coast Highway
Laguna Surf Lodge and SCP Seven4One are sister properties in the Village and share an amenity: Seven4One guests use the Surf Lodge’s beach, pool and fire pits, per Seven4One’s site. Capri Laguna is farther south in the HIP District. Casa Laguna Hotel & Spa is the southernmost of the group, at 2510 South Coast Highway, near Victoria Beach. Its site describes a hotel built in the early 1920s on a hillside overlooking the Pacific, a short walk from Victoria Beach.
Getting around without a car
Tides Laguna and Costa Art Hotel each say a parking space comes with the room. Casa Loma’s site says guests can reach the shops and restaurants on foot, and Costa Art Hotel’s site says trolley stops are nearby. The getting around guide covers the trolley routes, and the parking guide covers parking in town, so read both before you drive in.
