Aliso Beach, Public beach in Laguna Beach, United States.

Aliso Beach is a public sandy beach along the Pacific coast in Laguna Beach, bordered by tall cliffs that rise directly from the shore. Consistent waves make it suitable for swimming and various water sports.

Aliso Creek, its wetlands and the coastal hills formed a natural barrier that marked the boundary between the Juaneño to the south and the Gabrieleño to the north. Crossing became easier after a Mr. Thurston laid out the Aliso Canyon Trail and the Old Coast Wagon Trail, and the beach grew into a popular rest stop. Parts of the beach have belonged to Orange County since 1949; a roughly 180-metre pier built in the early 1970s was demolished after storm damage in 1998.

The beach hosts The Vic, an international skimboarding championship that draws professional athletes and spectators from around the world. This event has made the location a gathering spot for water sports enthusiasts.

The beach has metered parking available and facilities including restrooms and outdoor showers for visitors. Arriving early on sunny days is recommended, as the location tends to get crowded.

At low tide, the rocks at the shore edge expose tidepools where small marine animals can be seen; the German Wikipedia article on Aliso Beach names these pools as a feature of the site. The same article notes that swimming, sunbathing, surfing, skimboarding, fishing and diving are all permitted at the beach.
