This is known as the “Secret Pools” in Laguna Beach and its only access is through a cave at *very low tide*. It’s a dangerous spot if you don’t know what you’re doing. A young man got sucked into a blow hole when a rogue wave struck him and he unfortunately passed away. It is best to go with a local. #localsecrets

Le Petit Pali Laguna Beach

5 out of 5

Travelocity Verified Review

"The suite was adorable! I loved the French country motif. Little odd to have the bathroom sink in the living room. There was a particular attention to some details. I would have added a few things: 1) no trash cans around the outside of the property and only one in the suite; 2) the sink could have used a rack around the base to hang hand towels; 3) the couch could have used a throw; 4) the espresso machine didn’t work or if it did, I wouldn’t know since no instructions were provided and I’m fairly savvy with gadgets. The country style continental breakfast was good — great breads, breakfast pastries, butter, jam, delicious yogurt and granola. But, very few places to sit inside the dining area. Also, wonderful champagne on arrival and mimosas and juices offered at breakfast. Wonderfully friendly staff, although some of the other guests were not so friendly, especially when sitting in such close quarters at breakfast. All in all, a delightful little place to stay. I would certainly stay here again. "

"The location and beach access is excellent. They had lots of beach items you can rent including chairs. We walked a lot and took the trolley around town. There was also a grocery store nearby. The hotel is older and had limited counter and table space, but overall I’d definitely stay there again."
