Laguna Beach is Southern California's premier
seaside artist haven. Though world famous, Laguna
Beach still possesses a unique small-town charm
rarely found anywhere else. Quaint cottages framed
by subtropical gardens line bluffs above sandy
coves along a seven mile picture-postcard
coastline. Inland, luxuriant foliage and sea view
homes cover canyons and ridges that tower more
than 1,000 feet above the ocean. Artists began
arriving here over a century ago (Norman St. Claire
in 1903) soon followed by the Hollywood elite (Bette
Davis, Mary Pickford, Mary Miles Minter, Victor
Mature, Judy Garland, Rudolph Valentino, Charlie
Chaplin and Mickey Rooney all maintained homes in
Laguna Beach). In 1920 they founded the Laguna
Playhouse - the oldest continuously operating
theatre company on the west coast. Today, visitors
from around the world come to Laguna Beach to
enjoy the Pageant of the Masters/Festival of Arts,
the Sawdust Festival, Art-A-Fair and the Laguna
Beach Film Festival as well as its fine shops, art
galleries, restaurants, and hotels, many with
breathtaking sunset views.
