I was browsing the TV today afternoon and saw this serial called “Laguna Beach” on VH1( i think).. I was wondering what’s so much hype about this Beach. And so I started surfing the net to understand what the speciality of Laguna Beach is!

It is located in Orange County, one of the rich counties in Los Angeles,California.
Questions arose .. ..and I found the answers!!
Here you go..

# why did they name it Laguna?
During the early times, the Indians (the red indians or native americans as they call now) thrived on rich coastal lands and used to call lagonas , for lake
By 1980, the Laguna Beach was a major attraction spot.. people started coming to Laguna for their summer vacations.

# So why is it so popular??
The city of Laguna beach has almost 20 parks..that includes tennis courts, basketball and volleyball courts, vista points(natural scenic beauty), laguna museum, the first hotel built (”Hotel Laguna”) and many more.

The Laguna coastline is over 6 miles and has 30 public beaches .

There are many major attractions at laguna beach… that includes Tidepools, Museums, Marine Parks, then you have the Wilderness Parks…

What I have mentioned here is just the preview of the attractions at Laguna Beach. I suggest you visit the Laguna Beach during the long weekend or during the holidays because there are a lots n lots of attractions which you really dont want to miss at any cost.

For all the History lovers [ I like to some extent ] there are a couple of Museums which you can visit.

WOW!! that’s a BIG list of attractions at Laguna Beach.. .. I bet you cannot finish all these attractions in just one day!!!

To visit all these attractions, you need to have a accomodation…right? thats so important.

Alright, the Laguna Beach has a lot of guest cottages, which is located 2 blocks away from the beach. If you are willing to spend some more money thenCarriage house is considered as the No.1 Cottage with Breakfast served, which is quite expensive.

I made a quick search on the net for other hotels at reasonable price.. .. but to my surprise, the price of one night stay ranges from $50 to all over $200 n above.

I found out one Hotel, Vacation Village, a 3.5 star hotel and the average price for one night stay is from $66- $246, not bad!

The day dosent feel good without a good dinner!
Forest avenue is talked about as one of the best restaurants in the area! The dishes look Yummy.. .. !!

Oh! thats shrimp scampi..at forest avenue

I’m now thinking, this would be my next vacation spot Uday are you ready?!

Cant miss it, its got a lot of attractions.
