Pride Tower Shows Its Colors On West Street Beach
Laguna Beach residents said "hello" to the city's very first LGTBQ+ Pride lifeguard tower this month.
LAGUNA BEACH, CA — It's a lot more colorful on West Street Beach.
The new Pride lifeguard tower has been installed at West Street Beach to honor Laguna Beach's LGBTQ+ heritage and history, the city said.
The decidedly colorful tower comes after nonprofit Laguna Beach Pride reached out to the city to ask that council members consider approving "Pride Rainbow Artwork" for the tower, a city staff report said.
