Local Lifestyle

The lifestyle here encourages intimacy with the ocean. Nearly every nook and corner of South Laguna allows you to bask in the invigorating sea breeze. While its real estate is slightly gentler on the pocket than North Laguna's, it's no less captivating. The community here also catches the eyes of those who prefer a less crowded yet equally charming coastal living experience.

Three Arch Bay is a gated community par excellence with beach access on Mussel Cove, walled off on both ends by cliffs. Homes are located atop high bluffs, offering wondrous views of the Pacific Ocean. Residents can access the beach via three stairways. Two miles to the north, Aliso Beach Park is a family-friendly beach with off-street parking, lifeguards, and a play area for kids. If you want a stunning oceanfront mansion, check out Lagunita, where properties range from about 1,100 square feet to over 7,000 square feet.
