After walking down the path..this is the beach that greeted us at the end of the steps.....just gorgeous...
going to the right and around the corner there are tide-pools..
the waves were a bit big that day so we had to be very careful, the girls came home with some cuts...
lots of Sea Anemones in the tide-pools.....
this castle-looking-lighthouse was really neat, there is an iron door but it was "glued" shut due to rust..
My girls with their good friend...they all play soccer together....
yep..it's the beginning of spring and they are looking mighty white....
It was a gorgeous day...loved seeing the dolphins swimming by in search of fish....for lunch
Looking behind us was this gorgeous home under some construction....all I kept thinking, what do they do for a living? How lucky are they to live here..I hope they apprecitate it...can I be your friend?
Yep their property line ran from the top of the walkway all the way to the beach...
loved the landscaping....I would love to have that view!!
Loved that old fashioned light post....trudging back up the stairs....after catching a few "sun-rays" we headed into town for some Ice Cream...
the girls were watching a Violinest, I told them they should of brought their flutes and play for tips {they have had good training from a school that gets invited to play at Carnegie Hall} so they could pay for the ice cream, at 4.50 a scoop!
Isn't that picket fence sign a riot! This town is a bit quirky...
Who needs to go to New YORK when we have the Statue of Liberty right here on the Pacific...
We went into the Wyland Gallery....LOVE HIS WORK, wish I could afford a piece....his murals are all over Hawai'i, he lives right above his gallery, come to find out.
After our ice cream we headed into town to shop....
lots and lots of cute shops...which the girls did not fail to remind me has signs that said, "no photography allowed"....I obeyed...I'm a good girl like that.
I bet this town gets a lot more crowded in summer, but with everyone being on a different spring break schedule it was not today.
all the parking on the streets are metered so bring your change...
we had to make sure we kept track of the time so we didn't go over.....
this store was the one we spent the most time in....it had "my name" written all over it...{no pictures of inside :( , sorry}....
It had everything beachy-cottage chic in there...trust me..I'll be back for sure. I did buy one thing that I traded one of my daughters in for....it was so cute, I could not resist....
the cottage store is on the main drag like this Tommy Bahama restaurant.. I had no idea there was a restaurant.....
I liked this building beacause of the painted wood and brick....so I took a picture...
I liked this two kids so I took a picture..oh yea..I'm supposed to like them, they are mine...
follow me....
Isn't that a nice {lots of work }piece of ironwork that overlooks this beautiful place with the most gorgoeous view....
Love that wall!!! just a hodge-podge of brick and stone...
aren't they cute? we are related...
Creative, Quirky and Beautiful....
is the beach town of Laguna Beach...
Your photography is great! You truly captured the feel of Laguna! Laguna and Manhattan Beach are my two favorite beach towns when I am in the Southern California area. Glad to see you all enjoyed it !

Loved seeing your pictures - brought back lots of memories. I used to live in the neighboring town of Newport Beach and we went to Laguna Beach quite often. Makes me miss the West Coast and especially the ocean.

Looks like you girls had an awesome day! So jealous!!!
Yes, extreme care needs to be taken around the tide pools when the waves are crashing hard. I have a small scar on my leg to prove it. LOL
