Experience the Best of Laguna Beach
Thinking about making Laguna Beach your home? You’ve chosen one of Southern California’s most breathtaking coastal communities — a place known for its stunning beaches, world-class art scene, and tight-knit community spirit. As your future City Clerk, I want to help you hit the ground running. Here’s everything you’ll want to know as a new local.
Your New Hometown Has Incredible Perks
Once you’re a Laguna Beach resident, you’ll enjoy free entry to three of the city’s most beloved annual events — the Festival of Arts, Sawdust Art Festival, and Art-A-Fair. These aren’t just festivals; they’re the heartbeat of the community. Immerse yourself in art, music, and creativity right in your own backyard.
Getting Married Here? Easy
If you’re planning a wedding, Laguna Beach makes it simple. The City Clerk’s office officiates civil marriage ceremonies at the historic city hall at no cost to residents. Prefer a beach or park wedding with your own officiant? Wedding permits are available through the City for that, too.
Free Notary Services — One Less Errand
Moving comes with a mountain of paperwork. The City Clerk’s office provides free notary services for one or two signatures, so cross that off your to-do list.
Numbers Worth Saving Before You Unpack:
- Laguna Beach Police (non-emergency): 949-497-0701
- Animal Shelter (adoptions, lost & found pets): 949-497-3552
- City Hall (general inquiries): 949-497-3311
Skip the Parking Stress
Once you’re settled, you’ll discover that getting around without a car is genuinely easy. The city’s iconic trolley and the Laguna Local on-demand neighborhood transit service make exploring your new town a pleasure.
