AI summary of 5 Google reviews — not a first-hand visit. How we write these
Parking is metered with a posted time cap, and one reviewer found that buying the longest block cost barely more than a short one. The lot is small and street parking off PCH fills at busy times. Restrooms are in the parking structure. Expect a walk down to the beach and a climb back up.
Manicured bluff gardens and a ramp down to a gentle cove with rich tide pools — accessible, beautiful, and free to enjoy. The beach takes its name from the 1934 film adaptation of "Treasure Island," which was filmed on this stretch of coast, and it now sits just below the Montage Laguna Beach resort. Tide pools here hold starfish, hermit crabs, and sea anemones, though collecting anything from them is prohibited.

Fun with my 3 year old and wife. Parking is max 3 hrs. I used the app, got 2 hrs for $2, but when I wanted to extend it was $4 for an additional hr. ($1 for 15 min) So if you think you are going to be there for 1 hour, get 3 hrs. Also there was a bit of a walk down to the beach, so keep in mind some walking time up and down. The walk was nice and well kept. People there was friendly.

Fantastic public park with a bit of a walking path, a grassy clearing, and best of all - several picturesque beaches and INCREDIBLE ocean views! Definitely worth a visit, especially at sunset. Park on PCH or in the small structure for about 3 bucks an hour. Bathrooms are in the parking structure.
