Tourist Destinations and Site-Seeing

Orange County has many great tourist destinations that combine great scenery with local color and a wide variety of activities and adventures that appeal to the whole family. Listed below are just a few of the Orange County jewels that are all within a 20 minute drive from any Pats Cup Hotel.

• Dana Point

  
  Located about halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego on the southern Orange County coast, Dana Point Harbor is truly one of the most spectacular man-made harbors in the world. The harbor and adjacent city are named after Richard Henry Dana, who, in 1835 at the age of 19, sailed around Cape Horn aboard the trading brig "Pilgrim" in search of cowhides for Boston shoe factories. Upon his return, he wrote the book "Two Years Before The Mast". In his book he had the following to say:
  
  "San Juan is the only romantic spot in California. The country here for several miles is high table-land, running boldly to the shore, and breaking off in a steep hill, at the foot of which the waters of the Pacific are constantly dashing. For several miles the water washes the very base of the hill, or breaks upon ledges and fragments of rocks which run out into the sea. Just where we landed was a small cove, or `bight,` which gave us, at high tide, a few square feet of sand-beach between the sea and the bottom of the hill. This was the only landing place. Directly before us, rose the perpendicular height of four or five hundred feet."
      Richard Henry Dana off Dana Point in his book "Two Years Before The Mast"
  
  

• San Juan Capistrano

  
  "The Jewel of the Missions" has been the center of Orange County since its founding by Padre Junipero Serra on November 1, 1776. Today it is one of California's most important historical, cultural, and educational centers. The Mission is the seventh of 21 Spanish Missions established in California by Franciscan Padres. Spain controlled California until 1821, when Mexico won its independence. In 1845, the Mission was sold for $710 to Don Juan Forster. His family lived at the Mission for 20 years. In 1865, Abraham Lincoln returned the Mission to the Catholic Church. In 1915, Mary Pickford was married in the Mission chapel.

  Areas of interest within the Mission walls include early adobe barracks, Friars' quarters, olive millstone, cemetery, aqueduct system, the beautiful gardens, and the original Stone Church. The Church was completed in 1797 and partially destroyed by earthquake in 1806.
  

• Laguna Beach

  
  Laguna Beach is Southern California's premier seaside artist haven. Quaint cottages amidst subtropical gardens line bluffs above sandy coves along a seven mile scenic coastline. Inland, luxuriant foliage and seaview homes cover lower canyons and ridges of hills that rise more than 1,000 feet above the ocean. Artists began arriving here over a century ago to enjoy the year-round, picture-postcard weather. Today, visitors from around the world come to Laguna Beach to enjoy the many superb art galleries and restaurants, many with breathtaking sunset views.
  
  

• San Clemente

  
  The City of San Clemente spans fifteen square miles of coastline and scenic foothills. The location of the City, long admired by explorers and passing settlers, remained virtually uninhabited until 1776, when Mission San Juan Capistrano was established by Father Junipero Serra and led both Indian and Spanish settlers to set up villages nearby.
  
  In 1969, an event occurred which accelerated the growth and reputation of San Clemente. In that year former President Nixon purchased a Spanish mansion in the southern part of town that Hamilton Cotton had built in 1927. This "Western White House" became the site of numerous historical meetings. Despite rapid subsequent growth, the City today maintains its small-town atmosphere.
  
  San Clemente boasts "the world's finest climate", with sunshine 342 days per year. The annual average temperature is 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
  
  

• Old Towne Orange

  
  Old Towne Orange dates from 1871 and contains the largest number of buildings in one place within California, that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
  
  Old Towne Orange, established in 1886 as the hub for shopping and socializing in the city of Orange, is still a mecca for shoppers and diners 100 years later. Antique stores and restaurants line the streets that meet at the town's center, the traffic circle.
  
  

   

• Newport Beach

  
  Newport Beach California has often been referred to as the "Colorful Coast" and is one of Southern California's most vibrant recreation and entertainment centers. Famous worldwide for its picturesque sandy beaches, majestic coastline, infinite recreational activities, award-winning dining and world-class shopping, Newport Beach is more than a sophisticated beach town - it's a way of life.

Newport Beach is so rich in wonderful things to see and do that you could spend weeks here and still not manage to do and see them all. It's not only the proximity to all of these activity and recreational options that makes this city such an ideal jumping-off point. It's also the fact that returning to Newport Beach at the end of the day feels so relaxing, so rewarding, so... right that it's like taking a vacation from your vacation.

You just haven't eaten out until you've eaten out in Newport Beach. There are a number of reasons for this. The seafood restaurants, of course, benefit hugely from their proximity to the ocean. For well over a century, the city has been home to an active fishing fleet whose haul from the ocean has had to meet the exacting demands of local restaurateurs and satisfy the discriminating tastes of diners who know what outstanding fresh fish tastes like. Unless you catch and prepare it yourself, you'd be hard pressed to find fish and other seafood as delectably fresh as what you'll find in Newport Beach's many outstanding eateries.

The ocean plays another role, too - that of a backdrop. Along the waterfront, as you would expect, the restaurants look out at the ocean and the harbor. But the dramatic, swiftly ascending landscape of Newport Beach enables many restaurants that are not right on the water to provide their guests with commanding, panoramic views of Newport Beach's beautiful, accessible seascape.

 

• Balboa Island

  
  Within Newport Harbor, on the Coast of Orange County, California, protected from ocean storms and surf, sits Balboa Island. Balboa Island is one of Southern California’s most well-known tourist destinations. The Island’s charming appeal is the reason many choose to call it home. In the Summertime, the Bayfront is lined with joggers, children and summertime visitors eating Balboa Bars. In the serene winters, sometimes all one can hear is the sound of halyard lines beating against their masts and an occasional seagull. Balboa Island is a wonderful place, both for residents and visitors alike. As we arrive in the 21st Century, it is reassuring to know that there are still a few places left on the planet like Balboa Island, California.
  
• Directions from John Wayne/Orange County Airport:
