    Oh Moss Point. I've spent so many days and night's here. This beach means so much to me. If you do come here. I please ask that you treat it with respect. I worked really hard at cleaning it up over this past Six month's. I showed this beach love. Because it saved me. Thank you and Enjoy. :)

    Parking on Moss St. or perhaps along PCH or Ocean...limited to say the least so don't bother on a hot summer, weekend day. The beach itself is SMALL but one of my faves because for the most part...it's just me and like 5 or so other people basking on it's sand. Beach access is available from a stairway on Moss at the street level down to the secluded cove. There are a lot of steps to the beach and the stairs are steep so be careful ascending and descending and take your time when loaded with dive gear. During high tide the entire beach gets wet so don't leave anything in the sand (it may not be there when you get back!). If you're into diving...this is the cove for you...some of the best in Laguna! Just be careful because the waves can be tumultuous against the rocks. Also a romantic beach...I saw a proposal there not too long ago!

    This micro beach is one of my favorite in Laguna! South East of Laguna Beach Inn right at Moss St. There are a handful of parking spots in that street, which end at the stairs that lead down to the sand...but there's also all of PCH to parallel park at. One of the most scenic beaches...and smallest too...lol! There are usually some professional photos being taken here. Sometimes the tide can come in pretty far...and during high tide, they close it off. Lots of mossy rocky terrain with some scattered & poking out from the crashing waves...so it's not a spot to go boogie boarding in, but there are some areas that you can get partly in without worry. The stairs coming down are a bit steep and the last step will require a short jump down, or a slight angered climb down the side over the rocks. Anyone with trouble taking steep stairs shouldn't attempt it. There are a few other mini beaches further down towards downtown...they also have stairs to walk down, but they're not steep and go all the way to the sand...no leaping required:P

    A little out of the way... far more intimate. Benches at the top of the stairs. Incredible homes all around it. Very Laguna-ish.

    It's a bit of a trek, but not so bad if you're in South Orange County. Beautiful beach with less than 6-8 people on this small beach at any given time. The rocks in the water look like beautiful sculptures and the little cave that takes you through to the other side of the beach gives you the best view of this beautiful beach. I definitely recommend visiting and then afterwards getting a bite to eat at Taco Loco!

    Very nice secluded beach you have to watch for rocks in the surf zone. If you venture to this little cove it will transport you and you will feel like you're in the south of France.

    Parking is free along PCH, although there are a few spots leading up to the stairs, but that's really for the residents.

    I have no idea where these negative reviews are coming from. Life Time in Laguna Niguel is an…read moreoutstanding gym and health club overall. The equipment is clean, well maintained, and there is a strong variety without the constant frustration of not having enough of what you need. The classes are excellent, easily as good as you will find anywhere, and the overall culture on the gym floor is a real plus. People are there to work out, not just socialize. The locker rooms are also a standout, consistently clean and clearly maintained throughout the day, and the front desk team is always friendly, professional, and welcoming while still feeling genuine (even though they are coached im sure). What really sets this location apart is how well it works for families. The kids club is far better than basic childcare, with a wide range of activities like sports skills, art, Spanish, and wall climbing. The pool area is also great for the whole family, with attentive lifeguards, fun family spaces, a separate adults-only area to relax, and good food and drinks available during the summer. It feels like a place where both parents and kids can genuinely enjoy spending time. A few things keep it from being perfect. It would be reasonable to include Parents Night Out in the already high monthly family membership rather than charging extra per child, especially since other Life Time locations do. It is also disappointing that the exceptional basketball courts are gone. Pickleball is clearly in demand, but keeping at least part of the space for a half-court basketball setup would have been a better balance. The old basketball league was a great part of the club, and it is hard not to miss it. We used to belong to the ClubSport Rennissance and it had a lot to offer too - but LT works better for us due to the better pool and kids club, nicer equipment, and more premium feel.

She brought me there, the front desk employee signed me in, and we went about our way. There is an indoor pool but the weather was good so we used the outdoor pool, which impressed me. I thought it was fantastic, both for lounging and swimming. With the weights, there was an extensive array of them, at least compared to other gyms. I didn't use the weights due to time constraints. We went to get a smoothie and I thought it was alright but unmemorable. Who even knows why? The smoothie may have been healthier (less sugar) than ones sold elsewhere. Employees behaved in a professional and courteous manner. As expected, I received a polite call and an email inquiring about whether I'd like to join. I was relieved that there was no pressure sell. The aggregate rating is a 3, but I find the gym attractive, so my rating is a 5.

The summers are filled with summer concerts that allow families to come together and the community to enjoy music, foods from foos trucks. Fall welcomes the halloween haunts where kids make memories that last a life time. I really love hidden spots in the botanical gardens for flower lovers like me can go and just enjoy mother nature. The added butterfly garden and its butterfly chairs make it more special. The soccer fields are filled with kids and adults playing sports. The community center adds that final touch with rooms that can be rented for special events, meetings, and downstairs is access to the heated pool. 5/5 I have attended a few private events at the community center and its a great addition to the area.

    Stayed here overnight and this hotel does NOT disappoint!…read more I came here a couple years earlier for an overnight stay, just like this trip I went on. Instead on this trip, I had a free room available in my account, which I wanted to redeem before expiring. First of all, the front desk people are very sweet and were very knowledgeable about the hotel and the amenities included. It was also around $35 for overnight parking, which I guess was okay considering I was only staying one night. The parking garage is adjacent to the hotel. Couple of the reasons I came is for the swimming pool and the gym. It seems this is what the hotel revolves around; that and the kid care. Entering into the hotel room, it was super clean and very nice. They have a no-smoking policy in the room, which I love because certain hotels don't have that kind of policy and the rooms smells horrible. When I woke up in the morning, I had a view of the pool and spa. It seemed there was a class in the pool and it looked really fun and I didn't know they had classes. Unfortunately, I didn't have any time to see the gym, but I will my next trip to this hotel. Next time I head to this hotel, I'll have more to review but for now, this is all I have to say. Thank you, Marriott!

The only thing, I wish they had a track or allowed us to run around the building while our kid is at the child care. Treadmills are tough for me. I tried the facial services too and the esthetician was great. She recommended some treatments and it was quite relaxing.

It's a little bit unnerving when you have about 10 people from this business staring at you while you're in the pool every second. When I'm a full grown adult and certified scuba. I understand their rules, but it feels a little bit looming and uncomfortable. They tend to suck the fun out of everything at this pool. No inflatables even if they're small, closing on odd days even if you have a membership. And no nighttime swimming if you want to use the Jacuzzi. Like I said a lot of potential and it seems like a decent place to take kids. But not everybody has kids and would like to enjoy it too, without people yelling about rules every second. I understand that this pool has lifeguards and that's fine, but I think they take their job a little too seriously especially if I'm the only one in the pool. Lol

    Thousand Steps Beach is gorgeous and the cave makes it totally worth all of the steps down to it…read more There are only about 219 steps (not a thousand). The steps are no joke though. They are pretty steep and concrete. I wouldn't recommend them for little kids. Make sure you go at low tide. They close the cave area when the tide comes in. The cave is on the far left side of the beach. You have to go over rocks to get there. It can be slippery. There were lifeguards on duty. It's so fun to explore inside the cave. We parked on PCH. There is no parking lot. I definitely recommend going in the morning. It's hard to find parking if you try to go in the afternoon/evening on a weekend/holiday. There is a crosswalk and stoplight at 9th Ave. to cross PCH and then the entrance is right there. There is a bathroom, but it is the typical beach bathroom--not very clean. There's a volleyball net on the left side of the beach. There are no restaurants/cafes. Bring whatever you want with you.

First off, don't…read morelet the name intimidate you, the stairs are not literally 1000 steps one way or even round trip... unless you decide to go up and down a few times, then yeah, you'll definitely hit that number!! We went on a Monday and it was pretty busy lots of college-aged people, maybe even some high schoolers, but the beach itself still felt pretty secluded, and there were hardly any kids around maybe like a handful of them. It was overcast when we went, which actually made it perfect, not too hot and super comfortable. Parking is street parking only, just make sure to read the signs carefully. Once you head down, you'll find restrooms and showers right at the bottom of the stairs, which is super convenient. The restroom is clean earlier in the day (before noon), but like most beach spots, it gets a bit wet as the day goes on. There's plenty of space to set up and relax. One thing to watch out for--seagulls! They will go after your food, so definitely cover it with towels if you're hopping in the water. The stairs themselves are pretty narrow, and people usually stick to one side going down and the other going up, so just be mindful and take your time, they tend to also get wet as the day goes on so it's a little slippery.
