Coastal Escape

Beach Days and Ocean Fun

Start your getaway on the sand at Huntington Beach, known as Surf City USA. Watch surfers ride the waves, walk the famous pier, or simply relax along the shoreline. Nearby, Bolsa Chica State Beach offers wide stretches of sand perfect for picnics and family bonfires, while Newport Beach combines coastal charm with upscale shops and dining along the harbor. For a quieter experience, visit Seal Beach for gentle waves and a laid-back small-town feel.

Active Adventures by the Sea

For those who love to stay moving, the coast offers endless opportunities for outdoor fun. Take a bike ride or jog along the Huntington Beach Trail, where ocean views stretch for miles. Head to Huntington Harbour for stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking through calm waterways surrounded by beautiful homes and marine life.

Coastal Wildlife and Natural Wonders

Explore the natural side of Orange County’s coastline at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, a peaceful haven for birds and coastal wildlife. Discover vibrant tide pools at Crystal Cove State Park, where sea anemones and starfish thrive in their natural habitat. For a memorable family outing, take a whale-watching tour from Dana Point Harbor and witness dolphins and migrating whales up close.

Sunset Moments and Coastal Dining

As the day winds down, linger by the water to watch the sun dip below the horizon. Enjoy fresh seafood, oceanfront dining, or a simple beachside snack as the sky fills with color. Coastal towns like Huntington Beach and Newport Beach come alive in the evening with lively restaurants, surf shops, and boardwalk strolls.
