This beach is gorgeous! I come here all the time and absolutely love it. It is family friendly there are fun places to walk around and see cool sea creatures. If you are from out of state looking for a pretty beach this is the place to go. Even if you are from here and want to visit it is so worth it! I hope the pictures help.

The surf is heavy and breaks quick at a shelf drop off about 50 feet from the shore line. Bathrooms, out door showers and a small cafe. The cafe serves beer, wine, premixed hard liquor drinks and the food is surprisingly good. Easy access to the beach and plenty out parking before 10:00 AM.

Busy busy public beach. Rocky areas, limited sandy beach. Be aware of tides, people everywhere walking between cars, not picking up their trash, few wear masks. Very limited parking. Beautiful area. Outdoor shower, restrooms not well maintained, people use drinking fountain to wash their hands.

Clean. Waves gets pretty tall. Parking is close to the shore which is cool (but small). Theres a restaurant, but I havent tried it. The troublesome part is leaving the parking lot... If you came from the north, youd have to make a u-turn, which is okay, but when its busy youd have to take a bigger u-turn

Wasnt the weather we were hoping for but the distance from the parking lot to the water is great and the showers and restrooms were decent. Waves were a bit crazy as well, though I heard it usually isnt. Had a great time and would do it again.

Beautiful vista location. Caught a gorgeous sunset.Just watch for seagulls as one may be so unlucky as to have one fly over ones vehicle with an unsightly splatter of an aviary dropping.

Just amazing! The water is a crisp blue color with awesome waves all the while! The beach is never usually that crowded. The weather is gorgeous year round, and the beachfront is just beautiful. Showers and changing rooms are very close to the beach. The water is a bit colder than other beaches but totally worth the visit! Have a nice day!

Nice beach, easy and cheat parking. $1 per hour. Dogs are allowed before 9am or after 6pm summer time. Waves are a bit high.

Review №22

The waves are really big but it really just depends on what date you go on. The seasons will effect the tide. Overall, not crowded, perfect for get-togethers.

Review №23

Very nice beach - wide and not very crowded. If you are looking for a nice beach and a fresh dip into the pacific, don‘t‘t look further. Swimming is only recommended for experienced swimmers as waves can be pretty high and strong. Parking alongside the street is also no problem.

La
Review №24

Great beach. Wasnt too crowded. There were a couple life guards on duty. Just be aware that youre not allowed to have alcoholic beverages or glass bottles on the beach, you could get fined. I believe there were also restrictions on bringing dogs to this beach. If you walk north up the beach, you will hit treasure island beach which has a beautiful archway.

Review №35

Aliso beach has great parking options and plenty of beach for everyone. I personally like the south side due to it being secluded. The long stretch of beach is ideal for a good run. Also right at the entrance they have a park right next to the bridge.

Review №41

Beautiful the day we went. Parking was only a buck an hour, there designated fire pits, away from the beach, but still nice. There is a concession for a light meal or snack, and it is pet friendly, although you need to read the hours when dogs are allowed on the beach itself.

I love this place. Its not super big, but its also never too crowded. The shore is steeper than ideal, but the sand is so much cleaner that many beaches in this area. Parking is also pretty cheap.

Part of Laguna beach.... the views are absolutely breathtaking. Be sure to take water shoes, its a must-see for anyone. The current was strong and there were a lot of large rocks around, be careful. But you wont be disappointed especially peering up at the big house on the cliff.....

Best little beach in the OC! Just don’t let the kids play in or near the creek where run-off from inland drains into the ocean. Great for body surfing, sun-gazing, watching for dolphins or reading a book.

Review №88

Even though we went on a much cooler day than most, this beach provided the exact experiences I sought out for my family. It had the perfect combination of sandy areas to run from the waves, and rocky areas to climb as the waves splashed up against them. Parking was only 1 dollar an hour and there was no fee for hanging out on the beach. There was also a wheel chair accessible playground area.

Review №89

I cant even imagine anything that can compare to this beach. One of best beaches I have ever been to. Water was so clean. Scenery was amazing. Something straight out of a traveling guide. Parking was very convenient. Only down side was that I didnt find a bathroom facility near by. There were showers though. Would definitely visit this beach again when I return to Ca.

Great beach. Clean and beautiful beach to walk. You can BBQ at the designated area.Sand is very soft. The wave was very high when I was there and it was very fun to play with. Life guard is there if something happens so felt safe to play.There is a small bar/restaurant by the beach and they serve foods and beverages. They had live band when I was there too.Great time and great memories.
