Heisler Park:
This beautiful grassy park sits on the bluffs directly above the beaches of North Laguna Beach

Heisler Park is a beautiful grassy park which sits on the bluffs directly above several North Laguna Beach beaches. It is here that you'll find the popular Laguna Beach Gazebo, which is one of the most photographed spots in Laguna Beach and the site of many wedding ceremonies!

There are expansive grassy areas and several picnic tables scattered around the park, which makes Heisler perfect for family picnics.

Fantastic ocean views can be seen from throughout the park, and there are telescopes mounted at Recreation Point. On clear days- it looks like you can almost reach out and touch Catalina Island!



From several view spots, you can look straight down into the water and see the amazing green and blue colors of the tidepools and kelpbeds. In addition, there are stairs which provide direct access to: Main Beach, Rockpile, Picnic Beach, and Divers Cove.

There are many, many picnic tables at Heisler Park. Some areas are located on large grassy stretches, and others like this are tucked in the trees- but they all boast panoramic ocean views!

Restaurants Near Heisler Park

Heisler is just a short walk from numerous downtown shops, galleries, and restaurants in North Laguna. My favorite restaurant is right across the street- Madison Square Garden! You’ll love the both the fresh and unique food and the atmosphere! (and they’re dog-friendly!) Another casual choice is Gina's Pizza.
Las Brisas is also adjacent to the park and they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you’re thinking of going to Las Brisas, I recommend the Sunday brunch and then a walk along the cliffs at the park! (Make sure to ask for a table at a window or outside on the patio, so you can enjoy the ocean views!

There are also two Starbucks across the street and several ice-cream shops nearby- Haagen-Daaz, Gelato Paradiso, Chantilly Ice Cream, and Golden Spoon.
