Jealously guarded by locals, Thousand Steps Beach is about 1 mile south of Aliso Beach County Park, hidden off Hwy 1 just south of Mission Hospital Laguna Beach. At the south end of 9th St, more than 200 steps (way less than 1000) lead down to the sand. Though rocky, the beach is great for sunbathing, surfing and bodysurfing.
