Surfing in Laguna Beach

Orange County's shore-diving heart: a string of coves — Divers Cove, Shaw's Cove, Woods Cove — inside marine protected areas, with kelp, reef, and resident sea lions. Much of the coast is no-take reserve, so it's a diving and freediving destination more than a spearfishing one.
