Go shopping and create CUSTOM trucker hats at Cactus Jane Emporium. This store has women's and children's clothing and lots of gifts and fun home items. Lovely owner, too.

One of the cutest children's clothing stores I've ever been in. It's not inexpensive, but everything is high-quality and adorable. They have great toys as well. Great stop for a baby shower gift.

Stop at the store “clubhouse” and get a famous W hat. Willbo was started by some Laguna locals and sells quality men's and women's clothing. It's very beachy and truly “Laguna.”

If you love spirituality, crystals, oracle decks, or beautiful jewelry, you have to stop into this gorgeous store. It's breathtaking. You can also get intuitive reading and energy healing sessions on-site.

Incredible food and drinks with an even better view, right on the beach. Most seating is outside. Brunch, too!

This is my favorite brunch in Laguna Beach, located The Ranch hotel. It's hidden away and feels like you're in an entirely different city. The food is incredible. Do not skip the cinnamon roll.

Favorite coffee in Laguna Beach. I love the cappuccino, but their matcha is also a hit. Grab a drink and walk Heisler Park.

The line is usually long for a (good) reason. Great local spot for good coffee, great outdoor seating (inside seating is limited). Coffee is awesome and the food is very good. Grant additional time in the Summer months due to crowds. Worth the wait.
