 (Beach access stairs) | Getting down to sand at Shaws Cove is pretty easy- beach access only requires a few easy stairs, then traverse the sandy beach to enter the water. |
| You’ll find great diving at Shaws Cove on either side. Most people primarily dive the right side and if you continue around the rocks you’ll find some channels and caves to explore and look for eels or octopus. |  (Shaws Cove rocks) |
I recently snorkeled the right (East) side and found it densely populated with marine life. The waves can push you around a little bit, so be careful as you explore near the rocks. Visibility varies so you may want to check local conditions before you go, but if you’re visiting- just get out there! With all those critters you’re guaranteed to see some fun stuff!

 (Houses above Shaws Cove) | As with most beaches in Laguna Beach, incredible homes are nestled in the cliffs above Shaws Cove. |
