Affordable Places to Stay:
The best part is, there is no bad time to visit, Laguna Beach is gorgeous year-round! Laguna’s peak seasons are Spring and Summer, hotel prices are typically at their highest price points. Try booking Fall and Winter, during our off-season for the lowest room rates. Fun fact, our waters are clearest during off-season and the beaches are far less crowded! The weather is relatively warm still, and the sunsets are just that much better too!
