It's tough to come up with one photo that captures the essence of Laguna Beach, but that's what I asked some local professional photographers to do.
The essence of Laguna

It’s nice when you have amazingly creative friends.
I asked some professional Laguna Beach photographers to provide one photo that captures the essence of Laguna. One shot that best represents our complex town.
This is what they came up with, below. The carousel has some of my favorites, which of course violate the “only one” rule, but you get what you pay for.
Enjoy.

The Unofficial Aquathon, the watermen lifestyle in one crazy hike-swim down the coast of Laguna Beach each September. This photo was taken at Woods Cove in 2018 on a beautiful day with huge surf. Mary Hurlbut: https://www.maryhurlbutphoto.com/

A slow exposure shot captures rush hour traffic snaking through downtown on a summer evening. Artist Judy Baker’s volleyball banner is an example of the City’s seasonal public art displays. Mitch Ridder: https://mitchridderphotography.com/

This was taken in our Marine Protected Area (MPA) this year and shows how our sea star family is thriving. I only take pictures in MPA’s around the world! Patsee Ober: www.pophotography.com
