Laguna Beach and beyond: Three destinations by car

Hop in your rental car and set off to explore California. Here are three great places to visit.

Los Angeles

In less than an hour’s drive from Laguna Beach you can be in the heart of LA. Which is good, because there’s so much to see and do, you’ll be wanting to drive in more than once. Stroll along Hollywood Boulevard, visit bohemian Venice Beach, shop on Rodeo Drive, museum-hop on Miracle Mile, or take the family to Disneyland.

Journey time: Around 45 minutes

Distance: Approximately 50 miles

San Diego

San Diego’s laid-back surfer vibe belies the fact that it is one of the country’s largest cities. There are beautiful beaches by the dozen, excellent museums depicting the city’s maritime and military heritage, and some wonderful nature hikes. Your first port of call, however, should be the 1,200-acre Balboa Park – home of the famous zoo, botanical gardens, museums and theaters.

Journey time: Around 1 hour 10 minutes

Distance: Approximately 80 miles

Santa Barbara

With the Santa Ynez Mountains looming on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other, Santa Barbara is perfectly picturesque. Add to that the Mediterranean-style white stucco buildings, and it’s easy to see why the city is often referred to as the American Riviera. Don’t miss the views from the hilltop Mission Santa Barbara.

Journey time: Around 2 hours 10 minutes

Distance: Approximately 147 miles
