Travel Note: We typically get around Los Angeles and Orange County by car. If you don't choose to rent a car during your visit, there are plenty of rideshare options (Uber/Lyft) available in the area, as well as metro and bus options in many locations. Don't forget about the Pacific Surfliner Amtrak train line that covers almost 400 miles of California Coast, with a bunch of convenient station stops such as Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Anaheim, San Diego and many more.
