Geographic landmarks include the 1920s stone 'Pirate Tower' at Victoria Beach and the expansive bluff-top trails of Heisler Park.

Coastal Coves & Beaches

Laguna Beach’s coastline is defined by its dramatic geography, featuring sandstone cliffs, secluded coves, and expansive sandy beaches. This collection includes Victoria Beach, home to the 1926 stone "Pirate Tower," and Thousand Steps Beach, known for its steep descent and sea caves. Divers frequent Shaws Cove for its kelp forests, while Aliso Beach provides one of the region’s few spots for public fire rings. The list also extends to Dripping Cave, a historic sandstone formation once used as an outlaw hideout.
