    Well, the beach is so famous on Instagram, very beautiful, with a lifeguards all the time, I felt safe there. You feel the breeze but is not strong, but be careful when you go to the water, the beach vis good go surfing. By the way, it was a surf competition look last Sunday. The beach all the way is only one beach with different names, so Aliso beach is the same, okay? It is worth to go and back in the same day. Just go early!

    I live this place ! I will keep going back every month . This place is just always clean and has a calming atmosphere. The only struggle is the parking so come early to get a good spot. Parking is $4 per hour . Recommend the sunset

    It's not a huge beach, but that's what makes it feel cozy and peaceful. Bringing my furbaby here made the day even better, and we had a little picnic while enjoying the views. It was a simple but really sweet experience.

    It's been 50 years since I've been on this beach. I used to live next door at Blue Lagoon. The beach is pretty much the way I remembered minus the wooden pier. The trailer park is gone too. I like Laguna, there's so many hidden beaches.

    Nice and quiet. Great views of the coast. Has plenty of benches in case you're tired of walking. The bathrooms are near by. Parking is underground and they take card or cash.

    Finally got a chance to visit the famed Treasure Island Beach. It was everything we had hoped for. We visited at the start of Spring Break so we were concerned about parking. It was very busy but we were able to find city parking along PCH. A short walk later, we found ourselves strolling down to Treasure Island Beach. I really appreciated it being handicap accessible right to the sand! The view was beautiful. Lots of space to lay out. Very clean. Great place to swim and take in the awesome tide pools. We were surprised to find to marine scientists available to describe the various species that live in the tide pools onsite on a Sunday. They were great. The beach was perfect. Will need to return with more time.

    Small little coves with a nice smooth, short path down to the water, from a cute little park. There's rocks to check out and climb on and tide pools. We caught the most incredible sunset here on christmas eve and can imagine the swimming is great in the summertime. We caught street parking for a small fee but can assume it's much busier in the summertime to find parking.

    What a hidden gem in Laguna! We recently discovered this beautiful park which connects to the Laguna Montage hotel. Parking is super easy on a weekday and is reasonably priced. The park is stunning. You get some of the best views of Laguna Beach. There are stairways leading you down to the beaches. Also very pet friendly! Our little pug had a blast here. We can't recommend this spot enough!

    Beautiful beach. Love walking along the shoreline and listening to the sound of the waves. I love exploring the tide pools and see what creatures are in there.

    Parking is limited, but the beach is worth seeing. Great tide pool area and beautiful photo opportunities

    This has got to be the most beautiful Beach in Orange County that I have ever seen! I've lived here (Central OC) all my life and and did not know about it! My husband was having a procedure at Saddleback Hospital and I had time to kill, so I took a short drive here. The pictures I took of it are just stunning and I use them for wallpaper on my phone. I love them. And I loved this beach. I was there in September 2024. It was not crowded on a Monday. BUT I did come close to drowning there! So I want to warn people to be careful because I was just walking on the shore and the tide came in and knocked me right over! A lady I encountered told me the same thing happened to her! But it is still beautiful!! I got lucky and found pay parking close by. It's a little tricky to find also but so worth it!! And there is a bit of a hill walk to get to it Stairs and a ramp. It's gorgeous. If you get a chance to go, it looks like a beach in Hawaii!!

    By far the most beautiful beach I've ever been on. The landscaping was amazing. I will tell you there isn't a lot of beach so pick your spot wisely. I love that there's restrooms and there's a place for you to get a cold beverage if you like, it was a really great time and I'm looking forward to going back.

    Ask the Community - Treasure Island Beach

    Can you grill on or near the beach?

    Unfortunately not.

    Do they have any food or restaurants on this beach?

    Not that I know of.

    Are you allowed in the water? Are sharks seen this way?

    Yes, you're allowed in the water. About sharks, I haven't seen any there.

    My parents are older and cant walk very well. Is this a place they could drive to and have a picnic without walking much?

    No it isn't. Usually, if you can find parking, it's a bit of a walk and then you have a few flights of stairs to get down to the beach.

    Are dogs allowed on beach on leash?

    DOG RULES 9 am - 6 pm between June 15th – September 10th 6 am - 10 pm between September 11th – June… 

    Can we use portable camp stove to grill and have lunch in one of those tables at the picnic area?

    Will I be able to use a beach tent or is that not allowed?

    No problem

    Are their restrooms?

    Yes! Attached to the parking garage!

    Are the fire pits open?

    I'm not sure but if I had to guess I would say yes because everything else is open.

    Is there fire pits?

    Not sure haven't seen any.

    Is this a rocky beach?

    There are rocks in some parts of this beach but there are a lot of open spaces to swim or lay out where there are no rocks. The sand itself is not too rocky either. I hope this helps.

    What time is it open?

    Laguna beaches are open from 1am to 5am.

    How is the bathroom? shower?

    Bathrooms are clean. Shower right before the beach is not working last time I tried (a few weeks ago).

    Is this a dog friendly beach?

    It is dog friendly during the winter months, after September 15th (stated on the signs to your right as you enter the beach) through the early spring!

    We entered the beach through the montage resort, went down the stairs on the right side of the pool area.

Despite the name, there definitely aren't 1,000 steps it's closer to about 250 but don't let that fool you. You'll still feel the burn on the way back up! I love bringing my kids here because they're soccer players, and running up and down the stairs is an excellent workout for building endurance and strength. I usually only make it up once because it's no joke! If you're looking for a free cardio workout with a beautiful ocean view, this is the place. The beach itself is gorgeous, with clear water, soft sand, and stunning cliffs surrounding it. It feels a little more secluded than some of the other Laguna beaches because you have to make the trek down the stairs. That's part of what makes it so special. I've visited several times around 6:00 AM, and it's always been peaceful. It's never felt crowded, although you'll definitely see other people getting their morning exercise on the stairs. I've also gone during summer evenings around 7:00 PM, and it's still a beautiful time to visit with cooler temperatures and incredible views. I still need to check it out around midday to see how busy it gets. A couple of things to keep in mind: there are no lifeguards on duty at all times, so be cautious if you're swimming, and the climb back up can be challenging, especially if you're carrying coolers or beach gear. Wear comfortable shoes for the stairs and bring plenty of water. Overall, this is one of my favorite beaches in Laguna Beach. Whether you're going for a workout, relaxing by the ocean, or enjoying the incredible scenery, Thousand Steps Beach is absolutely worth the climb.

    Victoria Beach is one of many hidden or secret beaches in Orange County. This is an extremely…read morepopular spot for photoshoot and there were tons of people coming here with their professional photographers. [Where is the beach]: Use the pin on Yelp's map as the guidance as the pin on the Google Map misled our party to a completely different beach. This hidden beach has two entrance - one via Dumond Dr (116 Dumond Dr) and one near the intersection of Victoria Dr & Sunset Terrace (2703 Victoria Dr). Please note that the entrance via Dumond Dr is under construction so it's easier to enter by taking the stairways near 2703 Victoria Dr. [Parking]: There's a street sign telling visitors to park on PCH and not residential streets. Unfortunately all parking on PCH is street parking only and our party got a bit lucky finding a spot near The Drake (2894 S Coast Hwy) - fall season so less crowd. [Dogs]: Dogs are allowed BEFORE 9:00 AM and AFTER 6:00 PM from June 15 - September 10. Dogs are allowed during regular beach hours from September 11 - June 14. Dogs must be on a leash at all times. [What to see]: Unlike other beaches in Orange County, there's actually a structure called the Pirate Tower and apparently it was built in 1926 for the family of William E. Brown (a state senator representing California's 37th district). [Conclusion]: I personally still prefer Table Rock Beach a bit better than Victoria Beach due to slightly easier parking, easier to navigate, and prettier beach, but the pirate tower is certainly unique.

We initially tried to drive by and find parking but a majority of the area had no parking signs up, since it's a residential area. I actually didn't even see the entrance when we were driving around. It was later on when we were hanging out on the Laguna Beach Trolley that we decided to make another attempt at Victoria Beach. We walked down the slope into the residential area and suddenly a narrow stairway appears. Super hidden area. Your efforts would be rewarded if you make the trek down because it is a stunningggg beach with barely any other people there. If you're brave you can walk across these bumpy rocks and visit the Victoria Pirate Tower. It's closed off so you won't be able to enter the tower but it's still neat to see. It's a pretty small beach and is tricky to get to, but if you enjoy beach views and dislike crowds, this trek would be worth it for you. And please keep in mind this beach is a state marine reserve, so please don't take any animals, shells or rocks with you.

Located at Crescent Bay Drive & Cliff Drive, Laguna Beach, CA 92651, this picturesque cove is known for its crystal-clear water, rocky shoreline, and abundant marine life. If you visit during low tide, you'll find plenty of tide pools where you can observe small sea creatures, making it a great spot to slow down and appreciate nature. Parking, however, can be a bit of a nightmare. I was lucky enough to visit with someone who lives in the area and knew all the different places to check for parking. Without her, I honestly don't think I would have found a spot. We ended up parking farther away than I would have preferred, and the walk to and from the beach included some pretty steep hills, but once we arrived, it was absolutely worth the effort. The scenery is stunning, the beach feels peaceful despite its popularity, and it's a wonderful place to relax, explore the tide pools, or simply enjoy the beautiful California coastline. Just plan ahead for parking, wear comfortable shoes, and give yourself a little extra time to get there.

We stayed there for most of the day until sunset where we quietly walked back out the stairs and outside the gates.
