@postcardnews

A favorite among local divers and photographers, Shaw’s Cove is a small, sheltered beach just north of Laguna’s bustling main drag. Cited by the Visit Laguna Beach website and OC Register, it’s cherished for its calm waters, rich marine life, and welcoming neighborhood feel. Early mornings see groups of divers exploring the rocky reefs, while the afternoons are popular with families and sunbathers. Its compact size and residential surroundings keep it intimate and unpretentious—a true community hangout.
