Step by Step, Little by Little: Thousand Steps Beach

After a long week of work, school, or even midterms (like I just had to go through) what is a better way to unwind than the beach?

Thousand Steps Beach is a hidden treasure in Laguna, California. It is quite the trip to get down to the beach (make sure you’ve been doing your cardio), as you have to walk down about 230 steps, but it is well worth it.

This beach is known for its seclusion, large waves that crash beautifully over the rocks, and for the tide pools and sea caves. However, be careful with the sea caves, if it is high tide or going to be you don’t want to be trapped inside the caves.

And as the day wears on, this beach only gets more beautiful. It shows off the most gorgeous and colorful sunset I think I’ve ever seen. Make sure to bring your cameras for some amazing pictures.

But don’t forget, after this day of beauty and adventure in tide pools and caves…you have to hike up what feels like a thousands of stairs to your car.

So go out and enjoy this dazzling and lovely beach for yourself!
