Woods Cove in Laguna Beach, CA: What to Expect (2024)

Woods Cove hugs the Laguna cliffs and is a popular location for snorkeling and diving. It’s just a couple streets down from the Surf and Sand resort.

The clear blue waters are picturesque and there’s ample sand for sunbathing and picnicking.

There are two main ways to access Woods Cove—for both, you’ll need to go down a staircase. Alternatively, at low tide, you can access it from Pearl Street Beach.
