Sleepy Hollow Beach

Situated five blocks south of bustling Main Beach, Sleepy Hollow Beach is perhaps Laguna Beach’s most underrated beach destination. It offers Main Beach’s central location without the crowds, creating a peaceful atmosphere for beachgoers that are looking to get away from the big city. To get to Sleepy Hollow, park along Pacific Coast Highway at one of its many nearby parking spaces.

At Sleepy Hollow Beach, there’s plenty to do. Looking for a relaxing beach day? Bring your beach towel, lie on the beach, and tan in Laguna Beach’s radiating sun. For some exercise, walk or jog along the beach’s scenic pathways. At the shore, the beach’s waters are shallow and temperate, making it an ideal spot for swimmers, surfers, and scuba divers. But the waves become intense and exhilarating as you set out into the ocean, making it a destination for surfers, bodyboarders, kayakers, and paddlers.

When your beach day ends and you’re looking for a change of pace, Sleepy Hollow is just steps from some of Orange County’s best dining. For a quick bite, head to Taco Loco, a local vegetarian-friendly favorite serving excellent tacos, fresh fish salads, and indulgent quesadillas with a variety of different fillings. Prefer a more upscale fine-dining experience? For arguably Laguna's best pastries and traditional French food, visit C’Est La Vie, a local restaurant and bakery offering renowned food and sweeping views of the Pacific. We recommend ordering the Escargots Provencal and the Shrimp Florentine Ravioli, which are two dishes that guests love.

Ready to call it a night? Walk to one of Laguna Beach’s top-notch hotels and resorts for a good night’s rest. For a modern boutique hotel just block from the ocean, check into the 14 West Boutique Hotel, which offers spacious, modern, and affordable rooms. And for a luxury resort with world-class amenities, head to the Surf and Sand Resort, a Conde Nast award-winning resort offering well-appointed rooms with panoramic ocean views.
