Additional Information
Beach goers, snorkelers. A lot of homeless on this beach as well.
Series of lead weights all together. Almost like an art piece, but it was clearly used for fishing. Which is illegal in Laguna Beach.
Comments and Feedback
None
Main Beach, Laguna Beach is a great dive site. You have to park across the street and walk along the iconic boardwalk and crosswalk area shown in tons of movies and television. Great spot to get pictures of you in full scuba gear walking the crosswalk.
