Kayla’s Top 5 Reasons

Fisherman’s Cove (Laguna Beach)
Dog meetups, great snorkeling, beautiful sunrises.
Ultimate walkability
Saturday farmer’s market, beach strolls, coffee runs, and everything in walking distance.
The weather
Sun nearly every day, never too hot.
Outdoor living, all year
Paddleboarding, hiking, and biking—any day of the year!
Perfect home base
Quick trips to LA, San Diego, or the mountains whenever the mood strikes.

Kayla’s Pro Tip: Grab your morning coffee and hit the sand early—locals know the beach is magical before the crowds!

Natalie’s Top 5 Reasons

The sunshine
It energizes me every day. The perfect balance—not too hot, never too cold.
The beach
My favorite is Salt Creek in Dana Point—grass, sand, surf, and views!
Shopping & Dining
OC is a foodie’s dream—from South Coast Plaza to Laguna’s local favorites.
Outdoor sports
My boys play outside all year—plus, we’re close to every major pro sports venue in SoCal.
Healthy lifestyle
Farmers markets, gyms, hiking, and smoke-free cities like Laguna Beach and Dana Point.

Natalie’s Pro Tip: The best OC days? Hit a morning hike, then relax at the beach—don’t forget to try a local juice bar!
