Avenues such as The Hatbox and
Laguna Handbag, but for the serious
shopper, head north on Ca- 1, about
15 minutes away, for the lose-yourself,
mega-mall shopping extravaganza
which is Fashion Island. All that
shopping will wear you out, so plan to
stop for sustenance in the same mall
at Francoli for bruschetta, carpaccio
and a heavenly, soufflé-like tiramisu.
Well fortified, return to the craggy
coastline, the winding beaches and
mesmerizing sunsets of Laguna Beach.
Nothing in this quaint town, no matter how chic, can ever begin to equal
what Mother Nature has bestowed
upon it. ❖
