(More difficult in the bars, but still possible in the area-the beach between the two bars is not lonely after dark, nor is Heisler Park, at the other end of town.)

Dining out in Laguna is diasppointing. There are no really fine restaurants, nor any very atmospheric ones.

Choosing a place to stay in Laguna is difficult, not because there are so many places, but so few, and none of them outstanding. The big "plastic" places are absurdly high in price, and infested with children and pets; the smaller places are not much more economical and mostly are rather seedy. A pleasant exception is the Village Inn, a little south of downtown with nice rooms and a swimming pool. Not gay, it seems to draw young singles. The price is right at the Coast Inn ($10, $18, and $26). Bottom price gets you four walls and a bed for one or two; middle price overlooks the ocean, and top price is on the private beach. Staying there puts you where you're handy to the gay bars and to a stretch of beach that gets "interesting" at night. Although the Coast Inn advertises to gay people, its straight owners are not, by repu tation, particularly simpatico; they just don't want to overlook any areas of profit. But the service is genial, good ribs are served in the "straighter" of the two bars, and there's a coffee shop for breakfast.

For staying in a place operated by and for gay people, call Jay at Clift Motel (714-4943004). It's a small place located midway between the center of the town and the Little Shrimp. A dozen rooms surrounding a pleasant courtyard, some of the rooms with access to the roofdeck for nude sunbathing. The rooms are quite nicely furnished (some with ocean view), and prices range from $18 to $28 They're only a short distance from the beach. The motel will be happy to pick you up at the Orange County Airport, and it accepts popular credit cards.

operators, so I can recommend them. In Laguna that would be too massive an undertaking; so very many of the shops and services here are gay-operated, nor would I choose to steer you away from their very friendly, sympathetic straight competitors. It's a town that has to be experienced to be understood.

To paraphrase: it was conceived in liberty and is dedicated to the proposition that all men have a right to be themselves, and live their lives as they choose, The people here are doing just that, and being gay does not set one in any way apart from them.

Apart from the freedom to live, and to be, Laguna offers many beauties and pleasures-from its beaches, to its shops and galleries, to its towering, sparsely settled hills.

Summer is here-the best time for everything that is unique in Laguna, anc the best time for meeting people here from all over the country. Give yourself the pleasure soon!❤
