Laguna Beach, California

Whenever I think of California beaches, I think of the city of Laguna Beach, California. It, of course, helps that it has the word "beach" in its title - but that's not entirely why I think of the city when I think of California beaches.

It's mostly just because of the beaches their themselves.

Now, the water isn't quite crystal clear, but to be frank - is the water really crystal clear in any other place other than the Caribbean and the Mediterranean? Yes...ok, ok. But to make my point, it was pretty clear water.

The beaches are full of great sand as well. Not the extremely grainy sand of Long Beach but really nice sand.

I recently went there and spent the entire day at the beach. Now, I'm not usually a fan of doing this simply because I usually get fairly bored after a few hours.

This time, I was with my entire family though. We had plenty to do to keep occupied.

We found out that sand castles stay up for quite a while - that is - until the tide comes in.

Because of pleasant experiences such as this that I've had while at Laguna Beach, I will continue to remember it as one of the premiere beaches in California. I will continue to come here to fulfill all of my California beach needs.
