Los Angeles and Orange County
The Los Angeles County, Orange County, Inland Empire, Deserts, and San Diego County regions make up Southern California. This area known for its warm climate and multicultural experience is full of great vacation destinations to be visited year-round. America and the rest of the world have been awed by Los Angeles and Hollywood since filming started in 1913. Since that time, people have moved to and traveled to this area to follow their dreams and walk the footsteps of the stars. But, Los Angeles County offers more than just Hollywood and Rodeo Boulevard for visitors looking for more out of their vacation. For those coming out to California for its surf, be sure to head to Malibu. Surfrider Beach boasts near perfect waves for experts to enjoy and newcomers to learn on. Families will enjoy the safer waters at Mother’s Beach in Marina del Ray. Quiet surf and excellent lifeguards make this one Mom’s favorite! For those wanting to experience one of the cultures of southern California, look no farther than Chinatown. Full of spice and silk stands, Chinese restaurants, and exotic herbs, this trip will show you another culture, transported into our own. The new Chinatown is a great place for visitors to learn about the Chinese culture in a safe, tourist-friendly area. For great views and a taste of southern California life outside the city, rent a convertible and take a drive down some of the region’s highways. Try out Hwy 1 from Malibu to Santa Monica or Mulholland Drive from Santa Monica to Hollywood. Orange County is home to Disneyland and many first-class resorts making it one of California’s most popular vacation destinations. Laguna Beach is a favorite among visitors and locals. Head to Main Beach Park right in downtown Laguna for great beach volleyball, basketball, activities for the kids, and protected tide pools. A great stay can be found in Newport Beach. Known as the body surfing capital of the world, it has great surf and safe beaches for the whole family. Orange County is well known for its diversity. Understandably so, since it is possible for visitors to see the Vietnamese settlement of Little Saigon and visit Silverado Canyon, an old stage-coast drop off, all in one day. |
