In my early 30s, looking for a beach city that has a little more space than LA with young professionals. I was thinking Laguna beach, San Clemente, or Carlsbad. Any thoughts or other suggestions? I like to go out to eat, a walkable town, and go to the beach to bike.

San Clemente and Carlsbad skew more conservative/Republican, if at all that is a consideration for you.

San Clemente / San Juan Capistrano are good options. Both have fairly lively “downtowns” for the OC. Have you ever spent a day down there exploring? If you’re used to the pace and options of LA, Orange County may take some getting used to.

My wife and I are in Manhattan Beach. We toyed with the idea of San Clemente / Costa Mesa for a while but a couple visits made us realize it’s just not quite what we like.

Laguna beach is a fun area, and very walkable! Biking on the beach is harder though, as there isn’t a bike path, as laguna is just cliffs

I live in Costa Mesa. I'm 4.3 miles to the Newport Pier and almost across the street from the Santa Ana River path. Granted some of the places in Costa Mesa aren't swanky like Newport or even Laguna or they're older (and there are some meh parts too), but I've found a really nice balance and I love it here. Plus you're between Huntington, Newport, & Laguna if you want to go out and you're just a sneeze from Long Beach--without paying the prices to live in those cities.
