West Street Beach

West Street Beach is in a wide sandy cove south of Aliso Beach Park in Laguna Beach, California. West Street Beach is well known as Orange County’s most popular gay beach.

The beach is about 600 yards/meters long and has volleyball courts at both ends of the beach. At the north end is Aliso Point (Camel Rock Point) where you can find unique rock formations and excellent tide pools when the tide is out. This northern area is commonly referred to as Camel Point Beach and there is a cobblestone path leading down from Camel Point Drive. If the tide is not high, you can walk on the sand around these rocks and continue to Aliso Beach and over to Treasure Island Beach about 2/3 mile away.

The entrance to West Street Beach is down a long and interesting stairway located across from West Street on Pacific Coast Highway next to the “do not enter” signs of Bluff Drive, a one-way street. On Camel Point Drive there is a ramp for emergency and service vehicles that pedestrians can use too. Parking spots are available along the highway near the West Street intersection.
