Welcome to Laguna Beach!

Feel like a day at the beach? Well if you can't get there in person, our Laguna Beach Cam is the next best thing. Watch surfers and swimmers relax and enjoy the waves, all from the vantage point of the historic Hotel Laguna.

2000 years ago an Indian tribe, the Ute-Aztecas, inhabited the canyon formations along California's coast and named the area Lagonas, or "lakes," after two fresh water lagoons. Today Laguna Beach is a resort town where locals and visitors stroll through the public park, explore tidepools and enjoy Pacific sunsets just as the Indians, Spaniards and artists have done in the past. Laguna's attraction is best expressed on a famous gate built in 1935 that reads, "This gate hangs well and hinders none, refresh and rest, then travel on."
