In addition to art fairs, summers in Laguna Beach are great for shopping. One spot we love: Sound Spectrum, which specializes in vintage vinyl and music posters. A manager, known as Wave, holds a find. (Allen J. Schaben/Los Angeles Times)
Sound Spectrum is at 1264 South Coast Highway. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times)
Walking through Sound Spectrum’s doors can make you feel like you’ve stepped back into the 1960s and ‘70s. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times)
Laguna’s art festivals are the big draw in summer. At the Sawdust Festival, photographer Gabe Sullivan, an exhibitor, coaches his son, Elijah, 9, on using a film camera. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times)

Toe rings too? Yes, you can find them at the Sawdust Festival. Kathy Burns of Patches Toe Rings fits members of the Oak Streakers, an open-water swimming group looking for an inventive way to honor their late founder. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times)
