Best Swim Spot in Laguna

🌊 Below The Surface

Now that Summer’s unofficially here and the water’s warming up, it’s the perfect time to discover Shaw’s Cove in Laguna Beach.

Tucked at the base of Fairview Street, this quiet beach is a favorite for swimmers, snorkelers, and scuba divers.

Beneath the surface, you’ll find kelp forests, rocky swim-throughs, and plenty of garibaldi fish. (check out this video of what it’s like).

It’s a fairly shallow area, so you don’t need to scuba dive to see the fish, swimming is just as good and a lot less hassle.

There’s a WhatsApp group locals use to coordinate swim times - if you’d like to be added, just email [email protected] and I’ll pass along your info.

Park on Cliff Drive and follow the trail of wetsuits down the stairs - you’re in for something special. Details
