Laguna Beach

All of these posts are from Laguna Beach, but this one is from Laguna's Main Beach, right in front of downtown. Unlike the smaller coves tucked into the convoluted coast to the north, this one is much more substantial and extends quite a ways to the south (the next post, from Brooks Street, is sort of part of the same beach.)

AERIAL VIEW
Downtown Laguna Beach, including Main Beach, are built at the mouth of Laguna Canyon, one of the larger drainages in the hills along this coast. That's why the town itself is down near sea level, instead of up on the terraces, and it's why there's room for a big, low-lying park and a wide beach, since there are no bluffs to bump up against. The coastline rises again to the south (towards the next post), although it's a little hard to distinguish the bluffs from the homes and condos built against them.
