Surf & Sand Resort


Surf & Sand Resort presents a distinctive meeting destination on the California coast. Resembling a sun-washed Mediterranean village, the Laguna Beach resort fuses elegant accommodations, top-notch service and high-end convention facilities directly on a 500-foot stretch of beach. The 165 rooms and suites perch just above the Pacific Ocean and feature custom furnishings, marble baths with deep-soaking tubs, plasma-screen TVs, and balconies facing the sea and awe-inspiring Catalina sunsets. For the ultimate in beachfront luxury, the 13 suites provide exclusive settings for private gatherings and intimate business functions.

Groups assemble in 10,000 square feet of sophisticated meeting space, including a separate conference center. Events for up to 200 guests take place in the stylishly appointed Pelican Ballroom and its adjoining pre-function foyer and garden terrace. Visitors also find several large meeting rooms, boardrooms, hospitality suites and a full-service business center. Each function enjoys the support of Surf & Sand's savvy conference and banquet staff.

When the meeting adjourns, the AAA Four Diamond Award-winning resort invites fun and relaxation along the beach, on its sprawling sundeck or at nearby golf courses. A visit to the on-site Aquaterra Spa is a must, as is dinner at seaside Splashes Restaurant, where fresh local ingredients add flavor to Mediterranean dishes.
Planner Reviews
The Center for Quality Leadership has been coming to Surf & Sand for 20 years. The beachfront setting, coupled with the beautiful rooms and meeting space make for an ideal location. The service is a 10+. We hope to be coming back for 20 more years!

Actually just held a planning meeting at the Surf and Sand. A truly beautiful property and location. Every view is stunning. The meeting space was perfect for our needs. The staff was extremely helpful and professional. At the same time would go above and beyond on a dime. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
