Goes without saying, but the beach always a great option. We recommend the beach at the Ritz, Doheny State Beach in Dana Point, 1000 Steps Beach in Laguna Beach, Main Beach in Laguna Beach, T Street Beach in San Clemente, or Reef Point in Newport Coast. Honestly, just keep driving west, and you will hit a beach- I promise!
If you know Matt, then you know that Disney is maybe the one thing in this world that he loves more than his future wife. Disneyland is about 40 minutes from The Ritz-Carlton.

A historic landmark in California. This is also right by Heather's high school JSerra Catholic High School (yes- the 'Rosen' went to Catholic school...) It is about 15 minutes from The Ritz-Carlton.
Heather shops, Matt sits and waits patiently. Fashion Island is a beautiful outside mall. It is about 30 minutes from The Ritz-Carlton.
