and art festivals. Several movies and TV shows have been filmed there.
In 2004, MTV created a reality
television show titled Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, which aired
on MTV for three seasons. The show follows the lives of several young Laguna
Beach residents as they finish high school and begin the next chapter of
their lives. It had a very successful first two seasons and became the
second highest rated MTV show. Its success elevated the central figures
on the show, Stephen Colletti, Kristin Cavallari, Lauren Bosworth, and
Lauren Conrad to celebrity status. The show later became a spin-off now
known as The Hills.
It is bordered by the Pacific
Ocean on the southwest, Crystal Cove State Park on the northwest, Laguna
