点评:The Victoria Beach access point is very near the intersection of Sunset Terrace & Victoria Drive, about 2 miles south of the Laguna Beach business district. Public parking spaces near there are reportedly very hard to find (especially on weekends), so my wife & I parked up at Heisler Park & took the Laguna Beach City Free Trolley to a stop on the CA-1 Highway very near its intersection with Sunset Terrace. [NOTE: A return route stop is a couple of blocks north on the other side of the highway; download the Free Trolley map for assistance in finding it, and be *very* careful crossing the highway.] From our trolley drop-off point, we walked a long block up then down the hill; but it took us a few minutes more to locate the access walkway/stairway down to Victoria Beach. It's very clear that the locals want to discourage visitor traffic through the area (no signage until you descend the beach access path); but if you come upon a resident & are respectful, you might even get some help finding the starting point of your oceanside visit.
The walk down to the beach is a long one (remember that for your walk back up), but the beach & ocean & other treasures at sea level are worth the journey. The row of beach houses to your left as you step onto the beach offer one or more photo ops, with the hillside homes higher up offering an interesting backdrop. The sand is clean & flat & easy to walk in, with plenty of space between the ocean & the cliff faces at lower tides to set up beach chairs or a blanket to rest & enjoy the surroundings. And if you turn to your right around the cliffside at the bottom of the beach access stairs, you'll get to see something called the 'Pirate Tower' - the subject of a separate TA listing, and the motivating reason that I dragged my wife to Victoria Beach.
The trek & the hunt were worth the effort, though we were pert near worn out after we climbed back up (and up and up) to get back to the highway & catch the trolley back into town. Pace yourself, and you'll have memories of an unmatched experience.
翻译:维多利亚海滩接入点非常靠近 Sunset Terrace 和 Victoria Drive 的交叉口,位于拉古纳海滩商业区以南约 2 英里处。据报道那里附近的公共停车位很难找到(尤其是在周末),所以我和我的妻子把车停在了海斯勒公园,然后乘坐拉古纳海滩城市免费电车在 CA-1 高速公路上停了下来,该高速公路非常靠近与 Sunset 的交叉路口阳台。 [注意:返回路线停靠点位于高速公路另一侧以北几个街区;下载免费电车地图以帮助找到它,并且*非常*小心过马路。但是我们又花了几分钟才找到通往维多利亚海滩的通道/楼梯。很明显,当地人希望阻止游客通过该地区(在您沿着海滩通道走下去之前没有标牌);但是,如果您遇到一位居民并表现出尊重,您甚至可能会得到一些帮助,以找到您的海边之旅的起点。
步行到海滩是一段很长的路(记住要步行回来),但是海滩、海洋和海平面上的其他宝藏都值得一游。当您踏上海滩时,您左边的一排海滨别墅提供了一个或多个照片操作,更高的山坡房屋提供了一个有趣的背景。沙子干净平坦且易于行走,在退潮时海洋和悬崖面之间有足够的空间来设置沙滩椅或毯子以休息和享受周围环境。如果你在海滩通道楼梯底部的悬崖边向右转,你会看到一个叫做“海盗塔”的东西——这是一个单独的 TA 列表的主题,也是我拖着我妻子的动机到维多利亚海滩。
跋涉和狩猎是值得的,尽管在我们爬回(并向上爬)返回高速公路并搭乘电车返回城镇后,我们感到疲惫不堪。调整自己的节奏,您将拥有无与伦比的体验。
