Laguna Beach is known for its arts community and summer-long arts festival. There are so many galleries that you probably won't be able to see them all in 3 hours. The Galleries on South PCH start about 5 blocks from those in north and central Laguna Beach, so free shuttles run from 6:15 - 8:45 pm, departing from Laguna Art Museum (corner PCH and Cliff Dr ) and Bluebird Center ( 1590 S. Coast Highway ).
