Heisler Park, located in Laguna Beach California, is a large oceanfront park that provides access to several beaches, including Picnic Beach and Rockpile Beach, both of which are located on either side of Monument Point at the center of the park. The park also provides access to Diver’s Cove and Main Beach, located on opposite ends of the park.

The park was named after Howard G. Heisler, who bought the property in 1905. It contains art sculptures and offers many amenities, including paved walking paths, large grass lawns, picnic tables, charcoal grills, a gazebo, outdoor showers (at the bottom of the stairways leading to the beaches), bathroom facilities, and, of course, the beaches, where you can lay out on the sand, explore coves or go tide pooling.

Also included within the park is a veterans memorial that was presented by the American Legion Post 222. The Veterans Monument includes two plaques that commemorate the memories of those that gave their lives to protect our freedom, as well as those that served in the armed forces during time of war. The monument also contains a time capsule that was sealed up in 1977 and is scheduled to be opened on May 30, 2027.

The park is located on Cliff Drive, just one block off of the Coast Highway. Turn onto Myrtle Street, which will run directly into Cliff Drive, which has lots of on-street metered parking spaces.

When visiting, consider eating at Las Brisas which serves seafood inspired dishes (breakfast, lunch & dinner daily, Sunday brunch). The restaurant, is located at the south end of Heisler Park and overlooks downtown Laguna and Main Beach. If you plan to spend more than a day in Laguna Beach, consider the elegant Laguna Cliffs Inn or the upscale Inn at Laguna Beach.
