Check EventsIt depends on the UV index and your skin. Our conditions page converts today's hourly UV forecast at Laguna Beach into minutes to burn using the standard erythemal dose model, so instead of "UV 9" you get "unprotected fair skin burns in about 18 minutes", along with the strongest stretch of the day and when to reapply. Open sand and water reflect UV back at you, so the estimate includes a beach uplift.
Check Today's Burn TimeIt depends on when. Leashed dogs are allowed on the beach at any time from September 11 through June 14. In summer, June 15 through September 10, dogs are only allowed before 9am and after 6pm. Dogs must always be leashed, and Thousand Steps Beach bans dogs year round.
