Laguna Beach Treasure Island Park

Divider
Treasure Island Park in Laguna Beach is one of the most beautiful parks in Southern California. The park sits directly in front on the 30 acre five star Montage Resort. A paved pathway runs along the top of cliff offering amazing views of the Pacific Ocean and the beach below. Visiting Treasure Island Park is like taking a walk through a picture post card.

The Montage Resort replaced the trailers and mobile homes of Treasure Island mobile home park. After a long battle with the city of Laguna Beach the hotel complex opened in 2003. Treasure Island was originally owned by Hubbard Goff who built a home on the property in the late 1800s. Treasure Island got its name when the movie Treasure Island, based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic adventure novel, that was filmed here in 1934.

Today the Montage offers guest 262 ocean view rooms each with a private balcony. There are 51 suites ranging up to 2,800 square feet, and 37 beach bungalow-style rooms. And if money is no object there are 28 residential units called the Laguna Beach Colony which consists of 14 craftsman-style condominiums and 14 custom homes.

For the rest of us there is Treasure Island Park which is truly an amazing place. Situated along the cliff walk are numerous wooden benches where you can sit back and enjoy the view along with guest paying sky high room rates. If your feeling a little more adventurous there are several walkways that lead down to Treasure Island Beach.
Treasure Island Park is a place the locals would like to keep hidden but the park is open to the public and offers easy beach access for everyone. With its breathtaking views Treasure Island is popular with artists who can find stunning vistas at every turn of the trail. There are also several artworks throughout including a massive mural located below the swimming pool at the Montage Resort.

Treasure Island Park has a beautiful sandy beach with crystal clear water accessible by steps and ramps. There are several tide-pool areas on the rocks but please do not take any living or non-living items from the tide pools. Be cautious of where and what you step on while on the rocks. The tide-pools are home to some amazing creatures so be careful not to harm them

At one time there was a small pier at Treasure Island beach. It was about 100 feet long and had a winch to lower boats into ocean. The pier was a wonderful fishing spot, but was private property for use by Treasure Island trailer park residents only. The pier was removed in 1999 the same year Aliso Pier to the south was removed due to storm damage.

Treasure Island Park is a 7 acre ocean front public park. If you can not afford the $700.00 a night price of admission to the Montage Resort you can still enjoy the incredible view the hotel guests have even if its just for a few hours. If you have out of town guest take them to this park they will never stop talking about it. Arrive early if possible especially on weekends peaking can be hard to find when the underground lot is full.

Treasure Island is the most gorgeous and breath-taking beach park in Southern California and a must see for both locals and tourists.

 
Treasure Island Park is located between Victoria Beach and Aliso Creek Beach. If you are coming from North turn right at Wesley Drive into the Park. There is an underground parking garage that has about 50 parking spaces. (three hour max).

If the parking lot is full you can cross Pacific Coast Highway and there is more parking at Lang Park. Some street parking is also available but is all metered and has a three hour limit.

Another option, although an expensive one, is to dine at the Montage and take a stroll along the park after your meal. Dining options at the Montage include The Studio a Craftsman-style restaurant at the edge of the Pacific and The Loft serving American cuisine and stunning ocean views.
