Laguna Beach Ocean View Homes

South Laguna is a great place to find properties located on the cliff side hills that are located next to the sandy beach and Pacific Ocean.   The community is a nice mixture of homes located in secure gated neighborhoods to private homes located along the cliff.  One of the most expensive communities to find these types of homes is the Three Arch Bay community.  This is one of the oldest gated communities in Laguna Beach and offers two separate gates with homes located on both the ocean side and on the hill side in the very southern point of Laguna.  Homes currently range up to $24,950,000 for a iconic lighthouse home that sits on the cliff and comes with it's own lighthouse and private pool that sits next to the sandy beach!  The home was built in 1929
