About this site
Victoria Beach sits along the coast of Laguna Beach in Orange County, California, a stretch of Southern California shoreline known for its rocky coves and small pocket beaches. Access is from the beach itself, with divers entering the Pacific over a mix of sand and reef typical of this part of the Laguna coastline. Divers here have reported barred sand bass, blacksmith chromis, California sheephead, garibaldi, kelp bass, and rock wrasse around the rocky structure and kelp typical of the area.
