South Laguna Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

This is known as the “Secret Pools” in Laguna Beach and its only access is through a cave at *very low tide*. It’s a dangerous spot if you don’t know what you’re doing. A young man got sucked into a blow hole when a rogue wave struck him and he unfortunately passed away. It is best to go with a local. #localsecrets
