Nothing beats the view from the beach… except for the view of the beach. Southern California is famous for its amazing ocean views, but photographer Jared Baumer set his drone skywards to capture some amazing shots of the beautiful rocky cliffside in Laguna Beach.

Some of these shots might make you dizzy, but you can’t deny that the bird’s eye view of these stunning shores proves that these Southern California beaches are beautiful from every angle.

Goff Island and Goff Cove

Thousand Steps Beach

Jared Baumer Photography It’s quite a trek down (and back up) the steep stairs at Thousand Steps Beach, but the workout is definitely worth it!

Table Rock Beach

Jared Baumer Photography Table Rock Beach is a sandy cove tucked away in South Laguna Beach. It’s a little harder to get to, but skimboarders come to this spot for the excellent waves.

Victoria Beach

Jared Baumer Photography Parking near Victoria Beach is scarce, as this beautiful beach is a popular spot in the summer, but the seasonal tides wash the sand away during the winter, leaving a rocky shore.

Jared Baumer Photography Victoria Beach is home to an unusual tower that was built in the 1920’s. It’s proper name is “La Tour,” but we think it looks more like Rapunzel’s Castle.

Jared Baumer Photography Near the tower, you can see the remains of a concrete wall that once created a circular pool.

Jared Baumer Photography No matter which beach you visit, the sunsets just can’t be beat.
