Just south of Los Angeles is the gorgeous Orange County area, best known for its wonderful weather, beautiful beaches, and endless options for fun in the sun. As an owner of a new home in Orange County, California you’ll find over forty-two miles of sandy coastline, with different beaches boasting different specialties—from world-class surfing at Huntington Beach to tide pooling at Crystal Cove to strolling and sunbathing at Newport Beach. There are also a number of urban and wilderness parks—covering over 39,000 acres—just waiting to be explored. 
 
Orange County, CA is home to incredible museums, galleries, theaters, and opera houses—plus some of the top amusement parks in the country (including “the happiest place on earth.”) Foodies will love the ever-expanding restaurant scene and those who love to shop will have plenty of options—including South Coast Plaza, the largest shopping center on the west coast. Add to that a strong school system and thriving business centers and you’ve found a California county that has it all.
