That&#8217;s where we found Kush Fine Art Gallery, and I loved it immediately, a mix of realistic and surreal pieces that felt genuinely dreamy to walk through. If you&#8217;ve got time around there, get dinner at The Deck. It overlooks the ocean and the food is excellent, you won&#8217;t regret it. Afterward, grab ice cream at Gelato Paradiso and just stroll the area. There&#8217;s almost always something going on around that spot.<\/p><p>By the way, whenever I drove through this intersection by Laguna Beach, there always seemed to be someone protesting something. Different signs, different causes, but almost never nobody there. After enough drives through, I started to think of it as one of Laguna Beach&#8217;s go-to protest spots, the place people show up when they want to be seen. Fair warning too: this exact intersection always seems to get backed up with traffic, so budget extra time if you&#8217;re driving through it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ec3d98 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"0ec3d98\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;justified&quot;,&quot;overlay_title&quot;:&quot;caption&quot;,&quot;ideal_row_height&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:412,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:22,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;ideal_row_height_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:150,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;ideal_row_height_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:150,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/hatirabayer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Main-Beach-Park-Laguna-Beach-768x1024.webp\" data-width=\"768\" data-height=\"1024\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMain Beach Park in Laguna Beach, right along Coast Highway\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/hatirabayer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Laguna-Beach-Kush-Fine-Art-768x1024.webp\" data-width=\"768\" data-height=\"1024\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKush Fine Art Gallery -

On a good day, I&#8217;d stop there for poke, then walk back home along the Salt Creek Beach Park route. Salt Creek Beach and Monarch Bay Beach are beautiful and calm, nowhere near as crowded as Laguna Beach&#8217;s Main Beach, and Monarch Bay Beach is a great spot to learn to surf if you&#8217;re a beginner. On the way back on Salt Creek Trail, if I wanted to slow down, I&#8217;d stop at Monarch Cafe and grab something to drink while watching the golfers.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2fab5a3 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"2fab5a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;justified&quot;,&quot;overlay_title&quot;:&quot;caption&quot;,&quot;ideal_row_height&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:301,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;ideal_row_height_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:150,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;ideal_row_height_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:150,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/hatirabayer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Salt-Creek-Trail-768x576.webp\" data-width=\"768\" data-height=\"576\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSalt Creek Trail\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/hatirabayer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Youngs-Beach-Shack-768x576.webp\" data-width=\"768\" data-height=\"576\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYoung's Beach Shack on Salt Creek Beach\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c9c327 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8c9c327\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Strand Vista Park, Niguel Shores Beach, and Strands Beach<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-92604a5 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"92604a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When I wanted a real swim, I&#8217;d drive to Strand Vista Park, park for free, and take the Salt Creek Beach Stairway down to Niguel Shores Beach, where I spent a lot of time reading and swimming.
