Victoria
Beach is accessed from Victoria Street off of Coast Highway in Laguna Beach.
From Broadway you turn east on Coast Highway heading toward south Laguna.
Just Past Moss Street is Victoria Street. Keep looking for the street on
the south side of Coast Highway the street is small and it is easy to miss.
Pictured is what the street looks like from Coast Highway. |

 |
Parking
at Victoria Street Beach is very limited. Most of the parking along Victoria
Street is private residential parking. Try the full length of Victoria Street
and some of the adjacent side streets to find parking also. Remember that
this is a private residential area, do not park on someone's driveway or
private parking pad. Get to the beach early and be lucky and you can find
parking for the beach. |

Beach
Access is a staircase on the south side of Victoria street on the corner
of Victoria and Sunset streets. This staircase is a shaded path that takes
the scuba diver to the west side of the beach area. |
| Facilities |
|
| There
are NO facilities available at Victoria Street Beach. I did see a vollyball
net setup that may be a permanent fixture at the beach. There are no bathrooms,
no telephone, no showers. Just the beach and diving, what else do you really
need? |
| Diving |
|
 |
Diving
at Victoria Street is on a reef system that is right at the bottom of the
staircase and extends to the west. There are several small beach and cove
areas along the reef. The water close to the shore is very turbulent and
NOT FUN to dive in. When diving at Victoria Beach stay on the ocean side
further out from the beach to help keep from getting thrashed on the rocks
up close to the beach. Be sure that you enter the water from the sandy beach
area just east of the rocks at the bottom of the stairs. |
