Southern California Beaches
A beach day can be a great change of pace during a theme park vacation. Southern California's Orange County coastline offers opportunities to spend the day enjoying the Pacific Ocean, sand and sunshine before returning to Anaheim for the evening.
Popular coastal destinations such as Huntington Beach and Newport Beach make it possible to combine an Anaheim getaway with a classic Southern California beach experience.
More Southern California Attractions
Staying in Anaheim also gives you a convenient starting point for exploring farther across Southern California. Families planning a longer vacation may choose to add destinations such as Universal Studios Hollywood, LEGOLAND® California or SeaWorld San Diego to their itinerary.
These attractions require a longer drive from Anaheim, so they work especially well as dedicated day trips or as part of a larger Southern California vacation.
