Located in the heart of downtown Laguna Beach between Cleo Street Beach and Thalia Street Beach, St. Ann’s Street Beach is the perfect place to visit when looking for a less crowded beach. The beach is also all-inclusive, having one section reserved for surfers in the Thalia surf zone and another reserved for swimmers. There is a lifeguard on duty to ensure these two zones do not collide. Access to the beach can be found at the end of St. Ann’s Drive, near the intersection of St. Ann’s Drive and Sleepy Hollow Lane. Due to its close proximity to downtown, there is limited metered parking available on St. Ann’s Street and South Coast Highway so be sure to plan ahead.
For avid surfers, St. Ann’s Beach is the first in a string of incredible surf beaches. The break where the south end of St. Ann’s Beach merges with the north end of Thalia is beloved by local surfers and visitors alike. If you are eager to see marine life, there is a rock reef offshore that keeps the water crystal clear, providing scuba divers and snorkelers pristine conditions to observe amazing sea creatures.
