STORY & PHOTOS

MTV's teen reality soap "Laguna Beach" was filmed at actual locations in Orange County, CA, which means it's easy to track down a ton of the spots where the LB gang hung out on the show.

In the show's very first episode, "A Black and White Affair", Lauren and pals Lo, Christina, and Morgan plan a party with a black-and-white dress code. And what better place to host a Laguna Beach party than in a ritzy hotel on the beach?

The girls book the Surf and Sand Resort for the night's festivities. The hotel is right on South Coast Highway near a ton of other "Laguna Beach" locations, and offers suites with private balconies, just like the one seen on the show. It looks like they rented the Vista Suite, if you want to try to get the same one!
