The SnapKnot Blog: weddings, photography, and more

An incomparable, understated yet elegant setting right on the Laguna Beach Coastline, Surf & Sand Resort makes for a memorable getaway – whether you need the relaxation that only a world-class spa could offer or a little romance over wine and ocean views. Thanks to our generous friends at the Resort, this memorable escape could be yours FREE!

You could win a 2-night stay and breakfast for two at this beautiful oceanfront property. Just imagine two nights in an ocean-view room, the sound of waves lulling you to sleep, and breakfast each morning at the famous Splashes Restaurant…there’s no better way to get away than that!

Luxurious amenities, a private balcony and a view that never ends – those are just a few of the features you’ll find at Surf & Sand Resort. For more than 60 years, the Resort has provided couples and families alike with a quintessential luxury beach vacation right on the shores of the Laguna Beach coastline. Each guest room and suite provides a variety of spacious retreats with comfortable, sophisticated custom furnishings, flat-screen TV’s, wireless internet access and the natural beauty of the Pacific Ocean just beyond your balcony. 15fiftyfive, the resort’s open-air lounge, is the perfect place to sip a cocktail, savor a creative appetizer and watch the sun set over the Pacific.

Terraced above the beach, with waves breaking just 25 feet below, the casually elegant Splashes Restaurant boasts some of California’s best views and finest cuisine. And while there is almost nothing as relaxing as a day at the beach, Aquaterra Spa is the perfect alternative, where you can relax with personalized spa treatments enhanced by the healing properties of native botanicals and the natural essences of ocean and earth.

Approximate prize value: $850!*
