Laguna Beach, California: Wyland Galleries; things to do

Wyland Galleries  

509 S Coast Hwy., (949) 376-8000. 

Famous for his paintings of whales and marine life, artist Robert Wyland is also an activist and philanthropist.  He painted his first Whaling Wall here in 1981.  Titled “Gray Whale & Calf,” it is on the side of the Wyland Galleries building and was redone a few years ago in tile.  Wyland’s goal of painting 100 whaling walls in various locations is now completed.  In front of the gallery, a Coffee Cafe purveys refreshments that you can take to a deck in back where you can enoy  an exceptional view of the beach and ocean.
