Go Historic

• San Juan Capistrano: founded by Spanish missionaries in the late 1700s, this quaint seaside community boasts some of the oldest European settlements in North America. When you visit San Juan Capistrano, be sure to book a tour of the missions and time your visit to coincide with the swallows leaving in the morning or returning in the evening. If you're staying in suites near the Anaheim Convention Center, you can avoid the infamous Orange County traffic by booking a seat on the Pacific Surfliner Train.
• Catalina Island: located just a short ferry ride from some of OC's most popular beaches, this island is home to wild buffalo, Native American burial mounds, and hordes of sunbathing seals. If you want to escape the crowds, book a tour of the island on horseback, e-bike, or glass-bottom kayak.
