Laguna Beaches 3.28.14 216 (Large)

The city of Laguna Beach California has a high concentration of named beaches along it’s nine mile long waterfront. Thirty-six to be exact! While each of these beaches are excellent places to visit some have their limitations or are just not one of “best” that Laguna has to offer.

Unfortunately (for most of us) there are beachfront gated communities such as Irvine Cove, Emerald Bay, and Three Arch Bay that close off access to their beaches from the general public. Others such as Totuava have difficult access and some are simply all wet at higher tides.

On the brighter side, Laguna is known for its stunning cove beaches such as Thousand Steps, Crecent Bay, and Victoria Beach. But the focal point of the beach scene in Laguna is at Main Beach where you’ll find grass lawns, volleyball courts, shops, restaurants, and lots of people. It’s the best people-watching spot in all of Laguna.

IMG_7771 (Large)

One section of the shoreline from Main Beach to the Keyhole Rock at Pearl Street Beach is a continuous sandy beach, but it has stairwells at each street so the city has created 12 separate beach names between these end points. Walking on the sand from Main Beach to Pearl Street is a thrill and you can return on the sidewalks of Coast Highway if you’d like. There are many shops and restaurants along this route. Of course it’s possible to turn around or loop back at any of the stairways you find on the way to the end at the Keyhole. If you do the whole thing you can cross many of the Laguna beaches off your to do list.

There are a few parks in Laguna Beach worth mentioning. The crown jewel by far is Crystal Cove State Park at the north end on the border with Newport Beach. This park has six different beaches with two of them in Laguna. You can hike the trails in the park on the bluff or walk long distances on the brown sand below. Heisler Park is another worthy stop in Laguna. It’s just a few paces north from Main Beach and is home to a large picnic area above Picnic Beach and excellent tide pools at Rockpile Beach. Finally in South Laguna there is a huge park called Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park with loads of hiking and mountain biking trails. At the bottom of this canyon is family-friendly Aliso Creek Beach.

Below is our list of the best beaches in Laguna Beach ordered from north to south. As we said, even the smaller hard-to-find beaches in Laguna are worth a visit. So if you have extra time, then check this complete list of Laguna Beaches and see how many you can find!

Summer brings warmer nights and the yearning to linger outdoors. But once the sun goes down, your patio or deck requires special lighting to make it as inviting as the inside of your home. Here are six easy ways you can transform your patio or deck lighting. You might never want to go back inside again.

1. Keep it low.

At night, any bright light that’s shining in our eyes will cause glare and make it harder for us to see. Light your deck and patio floors with step lights or rail-mounted lights to keep the light low and discreet. You can install lights directly into the deck or patio or get creative with continuous LED strips hidden below steps and platforms.

2. Hide the bulbs.

Outdoor wall sconces or hanging lanterns with clear glass — which allow you to plainly see the bulb — can cause major glare issues at night. For usable light, choose fixtures that hide the bulb deep inside the fixture or have frosted glass to help diffuse the light.

3. Bring back the stars.

In rural areas with limited light pollution, you might be able to gaze at plenty of real stars. In brighter urban and suburban environments, try mimicking the look of stars with hanging string lights. The small bulbs will add a soft glow at night without too much glare.

4. Light the fire.

Our attraction to flame is strong, some might even say primordial. Outdoor fireplaces, kerosene lanterns and even grouped candles will delight family and friends with their mesmerizing flickers.

5. Make it bigger.

You can expand the visual space of your patio or deck by selectively illuminating nearby features such as trees, landscaping and walls. This allows you to see past the edges of the patio or deck, making the space feel larger. Limit light pollution by using the lights only when you’re outside to enjoy them.

6. Enjoy the dark.

To really experience the night, leave some areas of your patio and landscape dark. I try to avoid placing lights in a “dark zone” from about waist-high to just above your head. This keeps offensive light out of your eyes so you can better enjoy the fire, gaze at the landscape and linger long into the night.

The illustration above visually recaps the six lighting tips discussed here. Consider pulling all them together to create the perfect nighttime patio experience.

If you’re trying to decide if now’s the time to sell your house, here’s what you should know. The limited number of homes available right now gives you a big advantage. That’s because there are more buyers out there than there are homes for sale. And, with so few homes on the market, buyers will have fewer options, so you set yourself up to get the most eyes possible on your house.

Here’s what industry experts are saying about why selling now has its benefits:

Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR):

“Inventory levels are still at historic lows. Consequently, multiple offers are returning on a good number of properties.”

Selma Hepp, Chief Economist at CoreLogic:

“We have not seen the traditional uptick in new listings from existing homeowners, so undersupply of housing will continue to heighten market competition and put pressure on prices in most regions. Some markets are already heating up considerably, but price premiums that we saw last spring and summer are unlikely.”

Clare Trapasso, Executive News Editor at Realtor.com:

“Well-priced, move-in ready homes with curb appeal in desirable areas are still receiving multiple offers and selling for over the asking price in many parts of the country . . .”

Jeff Tucker, Senior Economist at Zillow:

“. . . sellers who price and market their home competitively shouldn’t have a problem finding a buyer.”

Bottom Line

When it comes to keeping known hazards out of your home, you probably already have a good idea about the things that you need to get rid of — like that stack of junk mail sitting on your steps that has the potential to become a tripping hazard — but did you know there are other surprise dangers hiding in your home?

No matter whether you rent or own, you should be keeping an eye on these eight hidden dangers and tossing them as soon as they become problematic.

Hazardous Materials

It’s never good to keep known toxins in or around your home, which is why Kevin Geick, manager of Bio Recovery, says you should dispose of hazardous materials such as old paint cans, pesticides, cleaning chemicals, or batteries following local regulations as soon as you’re done with them.

“Many communities have designated drop-off points for hazardous waste,” he adds. “These materials pose potential risks to the environment and human health if not disposed of properly, so it’s important to discard them as soon as possible to prevent accidents or contamination.”

Old Fire Extinguishers

Fire extinguishers are essential safety devices, but many people overlook the fact that they come with an expiration date, shares Karina Toner, operations manager at Spekless Cleaning. “Expired fire extinguishers might not work effectively during an emergency, which would put lives and property at risk,” she says. “It’s crucial to regularly check the expiration dates and replace or recharge them accordingly.”

Expired Food and Pantry Items

You may already know that it might not be a good idea to eat food that has gone way past its expiration date and shows signs of spoilage, but did you know it can be harmful to even have those items hanging out in your fridge or pantry? That’s why Geick says it’s so important to regularly check your pantry and refrigerator for expired or spoiled food.

“Discard any items that have passed their expiration dates or show signs of spoilage,” he says. “These items can harbor harmful bacteria or toxins, leading to foodborne illnesses, so it’s crucial to discard them promptly to maintain a safe and hygienic environment in your home.”

Expired Household Chemicals

Believe it or not, household chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, and drain cleaners can pose serious health and safety risks if mishandled, stored improperly, or kept past their “good by” date.

“People often forget about partially used containers or overlook the expiration dates,” Toner says. “These chemicals can lose their effectiveness or become unstable over time, leading to potential accidents or chemical reactions.” You should safely dispose of expired or unused chemicals at designated collection centers or hazardous waste facilities.

Outdated Baby Products

Parents, especially parents with multiple children or kids with large age gaps, know just how easy it is to accumulate baby products like car seats, strollers, and cribs. “However, safety standards and regulations for these items evolve, and older products might not meet the latest safety requirements,” according to Toner. “It’s crucial to stay informed about product recalls and dispose of outdated or recalled baby items properly to ensure the safety of infants and young children.”

Broken or Chipped Dishware

Angela Lee, a content writer for Hellamaid, says holding onto coffee mugs or dishware with cracks or chips in them is just a disaster waiting to happen. Not only do you run a risk of getting cut on the sharp edges of these pieces, but you’re exposing yourself to an additional risk of being burned or badly injured if your dish fails while you’re using it.

Perhaps even more concerning, you may be unknowingly exposing yourself to bacteria and mold by using these pieces. “The cracks and crevices in chipped or cracked items can harbor bacteria, especially in porous materials like ceramics,” she says. “Even with thorough washing, it can be challenging to remove all the bacteria from the damaged areas. This can potentially lead to contamination and increase the risk of foodborne illnesses.”

Old Cosmetics

Keeping your favorite lipsticks, eyeliners, and mascaras in the rotation past their shelf life can have dire consequences, according to Rocky Vuony, founder and director of Calibre Cleaning. “Over time, these can harbor bacteria, leading to skin infections,” he says. “Dispose of any items past their [expiration] date.”

Air Vents and Ducts

Air vents and ducts accumulate dust, pet dander, and other allergens, which Muffetta Krueger, cleaning expert and founder of Muffetta’s Domestic Assistants, says can affect indoor air quality. “Regularly cleaning and maintaining these areas can improve airflow, minimize allergens, and enhance the overall indoor environment.”

The frequency of cleaning air vents and ducts depends on various factors, according to Krueger, including the environment, the presence of pets, and the overall air quality. “As a general guideline, it’s recommended to have your air vents and ducts professionally cleaned every three to five years. However, if you notice excessive dust buildup, mold growth, or experience worsened indoor air quality, it’s advisable to have them cleaned sooner.”

From festivals and fireworks to Independence Day parades, here are the best 4th of July events for your entire family.
