Everything is beautiful and extremely well maintained. The chapel is absolutely stunning, with so much incredible detail, and it's such a peaceful place of worship. The gift shop has a great selection of unique gifts, along with sacred pieces from holy places around the world. Definitely worth spending a few hours here. A beautiful, peaceful, and fascinating place to visit!

    We had a wonderful time! We made it a point to stop here when driving from Temecula as we had never…read morebeen to a mission before, and we are so glad that we did. When getting the tickets, the lady helping us was so nice! We got our audio tour and started along the way. It really was beautiful and full of history! It's as old as the country! The audio tour and plaques along the way provided a lot of information and we spent at least 2 hours here wandering around and taking everything in, you could easily spend more time than that here. Beautiful grounds and it was amazing to see the original and uncovered structures that existed so long ago. You end up at the gift shop at the end and we left with a postcard and a magnet for home. Very reasonable prices in there and some cute things! Overall we had an amazing time and would love to visit other missions. Give this one a go!

    This little hidden area of San Juan Capistrano is definitely worth a visit! In fact, Los Rios…read moreStreet Historic District is the oldest continuously inhabited neighborhood in California, and it features historic structures dating back to the late 1700s. This area also preserves three original adobe homes built around 1794--the Rios, Montanez, and Silvas adobes. Later in the 19th and early 20th centuries, wooden board-and-batten houses and Victorian buildings were added to the street. There's a spacious park including a butterfly garden, Hidden House coffee shop, a tea shop & a few little stores and several restaurants. There's also an adorable petting zoo! It's quaint and easy to see in under an hour, or you could spend a few hours relaxing & taking your time. It's easy to access to Los Rios from the 5 & there is plenty of free or low cost parking. Additionally, the train stops right in SJC and you can easily access this area from the stop. Peace.

    7/26/26 What a gorgeous place to take the family out for a lazy Sunday afternoon! There are plenty…read moreof adorable places to visit and take a stroll. My family took the Metrolink from the Anaheim station ($10 per person) and it took about 45 minutes. Hubby and I drove from San Gabriel which took a little over an hour. My usual go to is The Hidden House Coffee shop with affordable and well made drinks, offering a sizable outdoor patio. The Ramos House Cafe is a few steps away, as well as the Los Rios Tea house. All of these are historic homes, vintage and picturesque. Within a few feet from the public parking lot is the Montanez building, where a nearby butterfly sanctuary is located. The Los Rios Cottages are for rent which are located next door to the Ramos House, very pretty but these are right alongside the train tracks, if you don't mind that racket, it'll be fine. It's an easy stroll and a beautiful destination. Come check it out. There are plenty more shops that I haven't visited. Today, I am limited as I have a medical boot (and a crutch) that's preventing me from my usual nosiness in discovering things on foot, until next time.

    I have tried twice to book the Best Bites of Laguna Beach Tour through Viator. My first tour was…read morecanceled because my tour is pending until someone from the tour company confirms the date and the number of people, and no one responded, so it was canceled. I've put in a second request for a tour for two people on the date I requested, and so far no one has responded, so this one may also be canceled. At least two Viator representatives have called and sent email messages to try to get my tour confirmed, but they've not gotten a response. I also sent a message to the tour company asking that they respond to my pending tour request, but no response. I have given this tour company one star for poor customer service.

(thanks girlie for taking me along) =) A fun day of learning new facts & sampling new places which we'd never think of trying in laguna Beach. A foodie lovers day of fun, Yay! =) Places we visited: La Sirena Grill (Organic Mexican) - small samples of salsa & guacamole dip Tommy Bahama (sample of Coconut Shrimp) Candy Baron (No candy samples) Lumberyard Restaurant (No samples) Sundried Tomato Cafe (small sample of their signature Sundried Tomato soup) Cafe Zinc (small sample of bean & corn salsa) Ocean Ave. Brewery (beer tasting $3 extra & appetizers) Pizza Lounge (Pizza made from fresh ingredients) Helen Cope House Dolce Gelato (sample of gelato) St. Francis by the Sea Cathedral Murphy-Smith Bungalow The lifeguard tower Wyland studios I wish they had more tastings of signature dishes from each of the different restaurants rather than just their appetizers & also more tastings in the middle of the tour because I was feeling hungry but by the end of the tour I was so stuffed! =P Tip: There are two parking structures on Mermaid st that are $5 all day parking thats the cheapest & best deal that was perfect parking for this tour.
