Too crowded. Screaming children. Dog poop everywhere. Rodents and snakes galore. No parking. Biting dogs. Coyotes. Stay away!

If you happen to be in the Laguna Beach area and it's foggy, head up to the top of the world! It's lovely up there and the Sun shines brightly! Don't worry, the fog usually lifts by 3:00 p.m.!

This is one of our top spots to take the kids mountain biking. The views cannot be beat and there are trails for every skill level. You can go to our YouTube channel to see videos of these awesome trails if you are looking to hit the trails!

Top of the World ia beautiful oasis, a mile from down town. Yoy could quite leterally, get lost in the miles and miles of hiking trails, all different lengths and difficulties. Play tennis or pickleball, spend time in the park and fields, Watch the 360 vista from snow capped peaks, to looking down on Laguna Beach, to the sun setting over Catalina. The mountain bikers scream down the same trails, so keep an eye out

We've been to Laguna Beach many times, but this was our first time seeing Top Of The World. We went at sunset time and I'd love to see it in the morning. Trail to walk or benches to sit, take your pick, just don't miss the view!

This is a quiet place in a residential area that takes some time to get to. Once you're there you have some beautiful views of the area.

The park at Top of the World is a terrific place to explore the hiking trails between Laguna and Aliso Viejo... just watch out for the mountain bikers -- there are plenty sharing the trails.
Also amazing views of the coastline as well as the valleys and mountains

We did a day pack hiking last year with 60 Boy Scouts and enjoyed tremendously. We have a questions, if Boy Scouts do Backpacking and not day backpacking on these trails all the way to the Top of the World? We are planning for 60 scouts during Mid June 2019, If anyone know if we can do backpacking for training purposes, please advise! Thank you
Can you have a small wedding here?

Not Sure, we are not residents but it's a city aprk so you can inquire with the department of parks I guess. It would be a great location with beautiful views.

Can you get there on free trolley?

I am pretty sure the free trolley does not come up this way. It is mainly for the streets along the beach route, and to the saw dust area.
