Luxury dog-friendly hotels in Laguna Beach, United States

Beret on, bikini packed and brushes at the ready: Laguna Beach is a coastal creatives’ colony with Hollywood good looks and a chilled-out SoCal temperament. Find inspiration in crafty festivals, stylish galleries and everywhere-you-turn street art, then set up your easel in a clifftop park and take the Amalfi-esque views as your muse. Don’t fret if you’re not a dab hand at daubing – the teeming tide pools and flower-cloaked bluffs are preserved for posterity in maritime and nature reserves, even if you can’t quite capture them on canvas. Roam the wilderness on bracing bike trails, then settle on sugary sands to watch the sunset.
