Main Beach Park, where a sweeping vista of the ocean greets Laguna Beach’s locals and visitors, is even more enticing thanks to a recent renovation that added new amenities to the popular spot.
On Wednesday, June 4, the Laguna Beach City Council and other town representatives will officially debut the new look with a ribbon-cutting held in front of the lifeguard tower near the promenade.

There are new sidewalks, new pathways and upgraded lighting with 15 new lanterns along the popular boardwalk and around the newly laid turf.
There are four new water fountains with options to refill water bottles and a doggy drink basin at their foundations.
The 46 wooden benches lining the park and the boardwalk are new. Each bench has an in memoriam tag, all of which have also been replaced.
New landscaping with plants such as blueglow agave, little gem aloe and dwarf natal plums has also been added. The plants are drought-tolerant and thrive well in the salty coastal environment.
The $1.4 million project was started in January and completed on time, which is something Mayor Alex Rounaghi gave props for.

The beachfront park, made up of 1,000 feet of beach frontage purchased by the city in 1968 from a handful of property owners, is located at the end of Broadway on Coast Highway. All the structures on the land were removed in 1974, and the property became a public park. It is known for its iconic lifeguard tower and is a popular spot for beach volleyball, playing basketball on two half courts and for its oceanview playground. There are also picnic tables, restrooms and public showers.
Laguna Beach sees about 7 million visitors a year, and Main Beach Park, along with nearby Heisler Park, are the most popular for visitors given their proximity to the downtown and nearby shops, restaurants, and lodging opportunities.
