Table of Contents for LagunaBeachBest.com

A note from the LagunaBeachBest.com owner/writer, Diane Armitage:

Look, I just can’t stop writing about Laguna Beach, and there’s no way you’re going to find all these tips and event details by just using the usual “blog” method using the Categories. I can’t even find my own entries anymore! So, I’ve set up a more traditional Table of Contents for you here.

Note: Some of these entries have to do with dated events, but because these events are ongoing, I’ve kept them here in the blog for your general reference.

Note: These are printed alphabetically, so what’s at the top of the list doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best of the best. Be sure to explore all options! Also, by no means is this a final list – I’m out every day exploring our lovely berg for “the best of” and will be adding entries here all the time. Enjoy Laguna Beach!

Many people loved the coverage of the Tibetan Sand Mandala, when Buddhist Monks came to Laguna Beach to create their Compassion Painting in tiny, colored sand crystals over a 5-day period. I want to be sure you still have access to this beautiful story:
