Laguna Beach Cliff Hike

Date: Monday, January 19, 2026 (MLK Day)
Time: 9:00 AM
Location: Laguna Beach, CA 92651 (coastal cliff/bluff area — exact GPS coordinates/meetup point will be posted in event updates)

Kick off MLK Day with a refreshing coastal walk along Laguna’s cliffside views—ocean breeze, dramatic shoreline scenery, and a great way to start the week with good company. We’ll keep a friendly pace with natural regroup moments so nobody gets left behind.

Please wear comfortable shoes with decent grip and clothing you can move in. Coastal mornings can be chilly and windy, then warm up fast once the sun’s out—layers make the whole thing way more enjoyable.
Bring water, sunscreen, and sunglasses; a hat is strongly recommended. If you like, toss in a light snack and make sure your phone is charged for photos (and in case you need to reach the group).

Parking note (verified): do not count on free parking. Laguna Beach metered parking is enforced on any day, including Sundays and legal holidays, which includes MLK Day. City public lots are also generally paid/managed with posted enforcement hours. Plan to arrive a bit early, and consider using the city parking app / card payment at meters and pay stations.

Standard meetup reminder: this is an outdoor activity—please hike within your comfort level, be mindful near cliff edges, and respect other trail users. If you’re running late, message in the Meetup app so we know whether to wait briefly or start moving.
