Laguna Beach Gay Guide and Gallery

By , About.com Guide

Among beach towns on the U.S. West Coast, Laguna Beach has arguably the strongest gay following of any community. This hilly, picturesque town midway between Los Angeles and San Diego lies within one of California's more conservative regions, Orange County, but this is an area with a sizable GLBT population and an increasingly tolerant attitude toward gay and lesbian issues. Specifically, Laguna Beach is gay-friendly and also home to several posh seaside hotels and a number of great restaurants. Here's a photo tour and guide to Laguna Beach, from the town's gay beach and lone gay bar to some of its hippest and most welcoming restaurants and resorts.
