Badlands Park is a park located in Dana Point and Laguna Beach known for its spectacular scenery and breathtaking views. Its ridge line trail overlooking Laguna Beach offers impressive views and quirky mini badlands sandstone formations in the middle fin to explore. The park is perfect for a light walk with great views of the ocean and fresh air that will help you fall asleep more quickly. Being a dog-friendly trail, visitors can take their furry friends along to enjoy the pleasant short walk attributed to the mostly sand and compacted dirt path. Badlands Park offers a unique architectural experience that can be enjoyed by walking and touching, much like discovering Yellowstone or Death Valley National Parks. With its stunning beauty, it is no wonder visitors who have been there recommend it to others. Badlands Park is open 24 hours a day from Saturday to Friday.

Best city park , with stunning and speechless views.
Really cool ridge line trail overlooking Laguna Beach! Impressive views and quirky mini “badlands” sandstone formations in the middle fin to explore. Great easy trail for the mild walking days.
Beautiful place for a light walk with great views of the ocean
Absolutely gorgeous dog friendly trail to walk through before sunset. Only downside is the trail and Badlands park is extremely short/small! Very pleasant short walk. My pup loved sniffing all the scents she picked up. The path is mostly …
I thought I was standing at a mini land of Yellowstone NP or Death Valley NP. This place is amazing for architectural discover and it’s so fun to experience this gem by walking and touching the soft sand from somewhere much higher than sea level.
Beautiful views of South Laguna and Dana Point on a smooth trail composed of decomposed granite. No bathroom but a few picnic tables near the entrance. Not a wilderness experience but great for a casual short hike
