Thousand Steps Beach (Laguna Beach, California)

USA / California / Laguna Beach / Laguna Beach, California / S Pacific Coast Highway
 beach, scuba diving facility / area
Thousand Steps beach is not very easy to locate when you try it for the first time. This beach is designed for the local residents and I think that they like it being well hidden. From Broadway head east on Coast Highway, the most prominent landmark is the hospital at about 4 miles down. When you get to about 4.2 miles look at the street signs on the inland side of Coast Highway. When you get to 9th street you will want to look for parking. The beach access point is directly across Coast Highway from 9th street.

Beach Access at Thousand Steps Beach is down a very long and steep staircase. There are actually about 230 something steps but they are very steep. After coming up these stairs with dive gear you will swear that there aren't a thousand steps but closer to a million steps. Take it slow and easy and use the hand rail, especially with dive gear on.

Quite possible the nicest beach on planet earth
