Ideas for a romantic getaway in Laguna Beach, California
Start your day with an invigorating yoga session on the beach. Then stroll to one of the outdoor bistros for a quick bite and a cappuccino. Take a walking tour to view public art throughout town, or stroll along seven miles of sandy beach to catch a glimpse of sea lions, dolphins or whales. You can also go tidepool exploring or embark on a sea kayaking tour to view garibaldi fish below or seals out on Seal Rock.
For artwork that captures California’s beauty, Laguna Art Museum exhibits more than 3,500 works dating from the early 19th century. You can browse the countless art galleries to see art in the making, or stroll the tree-lined downtown to peruse clothing boutiques, home furnishings, jewelry and gift shops.
Learn something new by enrolling in a cooking class at Laguna Culinary Arts. For oenophiles, sample some boutique wines along with a wonderful selection of cheeses and charcuterie at the Laguna Culinary Arts’ cafe, or head nearby to the Laguna Canyon Winery for a wine tasting. OC Beach and Wildlife Tours combines wine tasting with a tour of several artists’ studios in Laguna Canyon.
Feel like pampering yourself? Take side-by-side massages at one of our spa retreats or an aromatic bubble bath for two, with the essence of the ocean highlighting your experience.
If you’re feeling playful, splash in the waves, or try a skimboard or surf lesson (equipment rentals available). Want to hit the links? Aliso Creek Inn is situated on 80 acres in Aliso Canyon and offers a nine-hole golf course, where you might spot deer.
