Where Laguna's Creative Spirit Was Born
Laguna Canyon is the storied corridor that connects Laguna Beach to the wider world — and it is where the city's legendary artistic spirit was first kindled. The canyon is home to the Sawdust Art Festival grounds, numerous artist studios and galleries, and a community of creative professionals who have chosen this dramatic landscape as their backdrop and inspiration.
Living in Laguna Canyon means living within one of California's most spectacular natural environments — dramatic canyon walls, riparian habitat, and the sense of being genuinely embedded in the landscape rather than imposed upon it. The canyon is surrounded by over 20,000 acres of permanently protected open space that will never be developed.
Properties in Laguna Canyon range from artist's cottages and live-work studios to more substantial homes on generous canyon lots. The community has a distinctly bohemian, creative character that is unlike anywhere else in Laguna Beach — and has been a magnet for artists, writers, and independent spirits for well over a century.
