A luxury Laguna Beach resort is moving guests off its first floor as pounding Pacific surf threatens Southern California, with coastal flooding and significant beach erosion forecast from Sunday through Thursday. The Surf & Sand Resort is taking extra precautions as waves batter the beachfront property, with a hotel employee telling The California Post that no guests will be placed on the first floor because of the threat. “We are putting no guests on the first floor,” the employee said, describing the move as an abundance of caution.
