Airport Commuter Black SUV chauffeur for the iconic Laguna Beach resort directly on 500 feet of beach sand — 165 oceanfront rooms each with a private balcony, the water's-edge Splashes restaurant, and the Aquaterra Spa, freshly reimagined in 2025, deepening AC's Orange County sub-region.
Surf & Sand Resort at 1555 South Coast Highway is the iconic Laguna Beach oceanfront resort, set directly on 500 feet of beach sand — one of the very few California resorts built right on the beach, where the surf is steps from the lobby. It offers 165 guest rooms and suites (including 13 Laguna Beach suites), each with a private balcony and Pacific Ocean views, plus the oceanfront Splashes restaurant and bar at the water's edge and the Aquaterra Spa. The resort completed a property-wide transformation in June 2025 with redesigned guestrooms and a new lobby and lounge. Surf & Sand deepens AC's Orange County sub-region to four anchors, alongside the Montage Laguna Beach, the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel in Dana Point, and the Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach.

Surf and Sand Resort is the iconic Laguna Beach oceanfront resort set directly on 500 feet of beach sand - one of the very few California resorts built right on the beach, where the surf is steps from the lobby. It offers 165 rooms and suites, each with a private balcony and Pacific Ocean views, the oceanfront Splashes restaurant and bar at the water's edge, and the Aquaterra Spa, and it completed a full property-wide transformation in June 2025 with redesigned rooms and a new lobby and lounge. Surf and Sand deepens AC's Orange County sub-region to four anchors, alongside the Montage Laguna Beach, the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel in Dana Point, and the Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach. AC chauffeurs guests from the airport to the sand and through Laguna's coves and galleries with a Black SUV waiting through the day.
Surf and Sand offers 165 beachfront rooms and suites, including 13 Laguna Beach suites, each with a private balcony and ocean views and many directly above the sand. Dining is at the reimagined Splashes restaurant and bar at the water's edge, with an ocean-inspired, locally sourced menu and an award-winning wine program. The Aquaterra Spa offers oceanfront treatments. The resort sits on 500 feet of private Laguna Beach, so the Pacific is steps away, and its June 2025 transformation refreshed the guestrooms, lobby, and lounge throughout. It is an intimate, boutique-scale beachfront resort - the on-the-sand counterpart to the bluff-top Montage just up the coast - and a member of Preferred Hotels and Resorts.
Laguna Beach is the artists' cove town of the Orange County coast, with the Laguna Art Museum, the summer Pageant of the Masters and Festival of Arts, the galleries of downtown, and dozens of coves - Victoria Beach with its tower, Treasure Island, and the tide pools of the Laguna Beach State Marine Reserve. Up and down the coast are AC's other Orange County anchors: the Montage Laguna Beach just up the road, the Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach (with its golf and Coliseum Pool), and the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel in Dana Point (above Salt Creek Beach and the Dana Point Harbor). AC builds a Laguna and Orange County coast chauffeur retainer pairing Surf and Sand with the galleries, the coves, Crystal Cove, and the harbor.
SNA John Wayne Orange County Airport is about 25 to 30 minutes north and is the primary arrival and the closest airport. LGB Long Beach is about 40 minutes, LAX about 1 hour, and SAN San Diego about 1 hour 15 minutes south, for connecting traffic. From SF Bay, an SFO-SNA flight plus the chauffeur is the fastest routing. Surf and Sand pairs with AC's other Orange County anchors - the Montage Laguna Beach, the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel in Dana Point, and the Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach - for an Orange County coast tour, and with the San Diego anchors down the coast for a Southern California coastal circuit. AC positions vehicles at SNA, LGB, and LAX for Laguna Beach and the Orange County coast.
