It has a nice suburban feel, but with desirable qualities such as restaurants and ample shopping.
The City of Laguna Beach is known for its art scene. Each year, several art events such as the Festival of Arts and Sawdust Art & Craft Festival. One of the most notable events is the Pageant of the Masters during the Festival of Arts. This show features tableaux vivants (living pictures), incredibly faithful recreations of classical and contemporary works of art, with real people posing to look exactly like their counterparts in the original pieces. It is truly a sight to see!
