Emerald Bay
About Emerald Bay
Discover the exclusive seaside enclave of Emerald Bay in Laguna Beach—an elegant, guard-gated community of approximately 500–550 homes nestled along the Pacific and backed by hillsides.
The residences span a broad architectural spectrum—Mediterranean villas with terracotta roofs, sleek contemporary estates with walls of glass, and charming mid-century beach cottages set into the bluff terrain. Many lots provide sweeping views of the ocean, Catalina Island, canyon and hillside, ensuring that every afternoon light is a golden one.
Within the community, residents enjoy resort-style amenities: a private half-mile beach seasonally serviced by lifeguards, beachfront volleyball courts and a playground; six tennis courts (five lighted), a lap swimming pool and spa complex, and parks integrated into the hillside greenbelts.
Conveniently, a tunnel beneath the Pacific Coast Highway links the bluff side to the beach side, making access easy and safe. Location is equally stellar: just minutes from the shops, art galleries and dining of downtown Laguna Beach, and bordered by the natural splendor of Crystal Cove State Park to the east with trails, tide-pools and open space.
Golf enthusiasts are a short drive from top-tier courses in the area. With the Pacific as your front yard and sophistication at your doorstep, Emerald Bay delivers a rare blend of day-to-day luxury, natural beauty and coastal privacy ideal for the discerning buyer.
