A small beach with easy access from the Coast Highway. The entrance is near coyote Grill. Great place to see the sunset. Never really crowded since most visitors go to Thousand Step Beach.

There are several styles of paddlers...Sporty, competition, and the random rent a board from any shop paddler. Then there is Laguna Beach Paddle Boarding’s style. We call this the Premier Paddler. This paddler is looking for an experience. They want to come to an exclusive beach. They want to learn on the ‘Cadillac’ of paddle boards as they glide effortlessly across the ocean. They want the best instruction, from an experienced instructor that everyone learns so easily due to her simple and fun approach to coaching. They want to have fun, feel centered, and look like a pro, all while getting a workout at the same time.

DanSurf

DanSurf was built on a simple premise. It's all about how you take care of the customer. As the business owner and your instructor, my name rides on each and every lesson. It has to be great. Through a decade's experience teaching ocean sports, I've gained keen understanding of what it takes to create a truly outstanding surfing experience. Now, I bring it all together for you. TWO-HOUR SESSIONS to give you plenty of time to pick and ride the best waves. THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT to enhance surfing success-including a quiver of boards for small groms to XL boardriders. USER FRIENDLY PRICING that's the best value in town for a two-hour lesson. Thanks for visiting, Dan

This smaller cove is my favorite. There are rocks on both sides for exploring tide pools and taking walks (when the tide is lower) to the other beaches.
