Lake Forest and its attractions for beach lovers

Lake Forest, California, may not have sandy shores of its own, but it's just a short drive from some of Southern California's finest beaches, making it a perfect base for beach-loving families. Head to nearby Laguna Beach, renowned for its stunning coves and vibrant art scene; here, you can enjoy sun-soaked days on the beach and stroll through the charming streets lined with galleries and boutiques. For a more laid-back vibe, visit Crystal Cove State Park, where you can hike through scenic trails before cooling off in the Pacific Ocean. If you're feeling adventurous, rent kayaks or paddleboards at nearby Newport Beach, where the gentle waves and picturesque surroundings create an unforgettable experience. After a day of exploration, unwind at one of the quality hotels in the area, such as the upscale Lake Forest Hotel and Conference Center, which offers modern amenities and easy access to major attractions. Your family will appreciate the attentive service and spacious rooms, ensuring a comfortable stay that caters to your needs while being just a short trip away from the beach.

Top Lake Forest Hotel Reviews

Hotel Fera Anaheim, a DoubleTree by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel only complaint is the water pressure in the shower and the 40 dollar a night charge to park the car they also put a hold on your card depending on how long u stay instead of just holding a card on file other than that amazing place to stay and close to restaurants, Dave and busters, shopping mall, bowling etc..."

Hotel Lulu, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good

"Parking was easy. Hotel was easy to find an easy walk distance to Disneyland. Check in time was prompt at 4pm (was there early and early check in was not available) but not the fault of the hotel. Room was clean. Did not use any breakfast or room service. Simple stay and good staff willing to help."

Grand Legacy At the Park

10/10 Excellent

"plan on staying every Disney trip!"

Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim

10/10 Excellent

"Great property, nice and big. Rented the two level room and it did not disappoint. Great staff and nice pool. Had a great time 💯"

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel

8/10 Good

"The property has so many beautiful gardens. But it’s easy to get lost. Felt like a maze to get around. The lobby is nice and the bar and lounge were great. The room we stayed in was huge. The bed was comfortable enough for being a hotel. The room was in need of an update though, especially the bathrooms. Big perk was the shuttle to the parks. My husband ate at the hotel and said his dinner was amazing. We’ll def be back again."

Hilton Anaheim

8/10 Good

"This why we always stay at this hotel because the rooms are always clean we have always had pleasant stay and the staff are helpful. Overall great experience."
