Crystal Cove State Park is another beautiful beach park in Orange County. There are a lot of hiking trails and also places to picnic. This is where we got engaged, so it definitely holds a really special place in our heart.
Laguna Beach is a beautiful beach in Orange County and the city is also really cute. You can walk around, swim, eat, check out the galleries. This is a must see & do in the region!
The Irvine Spectrum is a great shopping center in Irvine. There are a lot of great restaurants, shops and just a nice place to walk around. Fun fact - this was where we had our first date together.
Chino Hills State Park is a beautiful state park with a lot of great hiking trails as well. There are a lot of great hills & vistas. It's also a great place to go mountain biking.
If you have a little bit more time and want to go to a theme park, Disneyland is right around the corner! We recommend taking a full day to enjoy the park, but note during the summer it will be crowded and a pretty hot day.
Another theme park that is a bit farther away in Hollywood is Universal Studios. If you're a Harry Potter fan or a Nintendo fan, it's great to check out these two worlds. Just note that the theme park is in LA so account for traffic.
