Things To Do
Laguna Beach
Laguna is home to some of the best beaches in SoCal, like Shaw's Cove. Hike the "Top of the World", grab a drink at Laguna Beer Co. or Hotel Laguna, and enjoy gelato from Paradiso.
Balboa Island
Walk around the island, grab an iconic frozen banana, take a ferry to the Fun Zone, and rent a duffy boat in Newport Harbor.
The Orange Circle
Orange will be our home after getting married! The city has a charming downtown circle, lovely Saturday morning farmer's market, antique stores, and great restaurants. Check out Play Coffee, O SEA, Gabbi's Mexican Kitchen, Urth Cafe, Snooze, and Citrus City Grille.
Crystal Cove State Park
Take in the gorgeous coastal views, grab a bite to eat at the Beachcomber Cafe or Shake Shack, and enjoy the walk alongside Crystal Cove's historic beach cottages.
San Juan Capistrano
Visit the Mission San Juan Capistrano, find local goods in Los Rios Historic District, and pop into a wine tasting room.
San Clemente Pier
Grab a coffee at Bear Coast and enjoy one of the best piers in Orange County.
Griffith Observatory
If you're up for a trip to L.A., Griffith Observatory provides one of the best views of the city - day or night. You can check out the planetary exhibits as well as their immersive shows. Telescopes are available at night for stargazing. The Hollywood sign hike is also nearby.
The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens
If you're up for a trip to L.A., the Huntington Gardens boast extensive (and stunning) gardens and galleries. Tickets should be purchased in advance! You can couple this with a stop in Old Pasadena - we recommend checking out the incredible City Hall.
Santa Catalina Island
If you're looking for a day trip, take the one-hour high-speed ferry to Catalina Island.
