Aliso Beach

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.

The beach has been a central meeting place for Orange County residents since the early 1900s, drawing people to the coast for recreation. Its importance as a community destination has remained consistent throughout the decades.

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.

During low tide, small natural pools form among the rocks along the shore, revealing tiny sea creatures. These tide pools offer a rare chance to observe local marine life up close.
