About the Hotel

Orange County's well-bred Laguna Beach is the backdrop to Surf & Sand Laguna Beach, which feels secluded despite its central location. The Pacific Ocean glimmers in newly renovated rooms and suites – a palate of cool whites, beige and aquamarine blends with the view seen through floor-to-ceiling windows. Chic cabanas flank a beachside infinity pool, and original artwork supports Laguna’s thriving art community.

Located directly on 500 feet of California’s pristine Laguna Beach, Surf & Sand Laguna Beach offers private oceanfront balconies, exquisite coastal dining, an award-winning spa and more. From those looking for a family adventure to couples and friends seeking a pure relaxing getaway, Surf & Sand Laguna Beach has you covered. Our oceanfront hotel in California resembles a sun-washed Mediterranean Village. We offer 165 beachfront guest rooms, including 13 Laguna Beach suites, all of which feature stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and private balconies. Surf & Sand Laguna Beach is the perfect getaway for couples and families alike. Named in 2019 among the top 25 resorts in Southern California by Conde Nast Traveler readers, the resort also offers meeting and event space perfect for dream weddings and corporate retreats.

Reviews for Surf & Sand Laguna Beach

Excellent service from employees at the Surf and Sand Hotel, a resort that could do well based on its beauty alone.

I booked a room at the Surf and Sand on July 18, 2025. When I checked in, I was helped at the front desk by a very polite and nice woman named Maxine. She asked the purpose of my stay and I told her that my wife had passed away last year and that day, the 18th, was our 44 year anniversary. We lived in locally and we never stayed at the Surf and Sand, but had been to its restaurant, Splashes, for dinner and also to the hotel for weddings. My wife always loved the sound of the crashing surf that could be heard at the resort. I told Maxine that rather than stay home, I wanted spend our anniversary at your hotel, hear the ocean. Maxine was very nice and understanding. She gave me my key and I went to my room. Although I could hear the sound of the ocean, it was also right above the pool. I hadn't expected that, but I thought it was fine. Even before I started to unpack, Maxine knocked at my door and told me that Surf and Sand would like to offer a complementary upgrade to a room that would better fit the purpose of my stay. Immediately upon entering my new room, I could hear only the crashing waves. I was floored. I am 72, have traveled a lot, and stayed in hotels both grand and unique. I have never had anyone do anything as thoughtful and appreciated as Maxine and Surf and Sand arranged for me. Everything else at the hotel was excellent and its entire staff was professional and polite. No courtesy given me seemed insincere. Still, the extra effort Maxine and Surf and Sand went to make my stay memorable was above and beyond. I am not someone who forgets kindness and I will be telling this story for years.

IN LOVE WITH SURF & SAND

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

What an incredible resort. I had the king ocean view room, the best I’ve ever stayed in. The crashing waves are just beyond the clear balcony. Kit was truly a gem. Daniel at the poolside was friendly and accommodating. The hospitality was stellar. Hannah was a doll, Alice was amazing upon checking out. Can’t wait to return

Still the best location in Laguna Beach, you are almost in the water the entire time. Now the most amazing rooms, the most beautiful balconies to enjoy the Pacific. Great, friendly staff.

Surf and Sand is a magical hotel

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Just returned from 5 nights and Surf and Sand. It was truly a magical experience. A beautiful beach hotel directly on the ocean, in the heart of Laguna Beach, with the highest level of service imaginable. Enjoyed the beautiful room and patio area, watching the sunsets every day from our balcony, and hearing the ocean waves crashing below were highlights. Great property. Exceeded all expectations. Great concierge department too, especially Sandra, who is an expert in what she does. Top level experience.

Quick weekend trip

This was my first time staying at this property Historically I stayed at the Montage when visiting Laguna Beach. I was pleasantly surprised. The service and staff were wonderful. The room was modern, open and well appointed. The hotel was also very walkable to many restaurants and businesses in town. Will definitely come back.

We spent 5 luxurious nights at the Surf & Sand hotel in Laguna Beach, CA, the week of August 14th, 2004. Upon arrival at our oceanfront room, we received chocolate covered strawberries and champagne. A full breakfast in Splashes restaurant included anything we wanted on the menu each day. We had a wonderful dinner including a bottle of wine, and even the hotel taxes and parking each day was included. It was a really great vacation.

My husband, daughter and I spent a luxurious four days in August at the Surf & Sand Resort in Laguna Beach, CA. This was the perfect place to recuperate after dropping my youngest off for his freshman year at USC! Thank you.
