110K views · 318 reactions | The enigmatic seaside town on California’s Victoria Beach looks like something out of a storybook. Built in 1926, the 60-foot building, lovingly known as the “Pirate Tower,” is in reality a private staircase, which the owners would use to access the beach. So the story goes, the stone turret got its name from how one owner would dress up as a pirate and hide coins among the rocks. | Atlas Obscura | Facebook

P I R A T E /// tower 🏰 . Yes, it’s Summer and the chances of finding parking on PCH in Laguna is impossible but if you get up early enough you can beat the crowds and make it down to Victoria Beach to see the Pirate Tower. If you are from the area please realize there are hundreds of videos about this location on YouTube, the web and social channels. I am not giving away a secret. | Locale Magazine
