Crescent Bay Laguna Beach is a large beach in North Laguna Beach, California. The main access is on Cliff Drive at North Coast Highway. There is a large walking ramp down to the beach. The two popular scuba diving and snorkeling areas of Seal Rock and Dead Man’s Reef are both offshore of Crescent. You can explore the tidepools at both ends of the cove during low tide.
