Recommended Hotel

Pack your sunscreen — La Ensenada is just one block from Laguna Beach and a short 10 minute drive up beautiful Pacific Coast Highway to our event location.

Your ocean-front retreat is here. Sip a drink on the terrace (it’s BYOB!) or lounge poolside with your favorite book. Each room features a Roku TV, coffee and tea, and a mini-fridge for your delicious restaurant leftovers. Nearby, Mozambique is famous for its wood-fired steaks and is only a minute away. Or catch the cabaret at The Anchor Line Bar, a local nautical tavern with aged whiskey and craft beer. Heisler Park is the perfect evening spot, with tide pools and pink-orange ocean views. Say hello to the breezy California lifestyle at La Ensenada.
