More About Orange County Coast
Overview
Made up of multiple cities, the Orange County Coast stretches along the southern coast of California. With Huntington Beach making up a large portion of the coast, stretching nearly 10 miles, the mild climate and optimal waves make it a paradise for surfers, boasting the nickname "Surf City, USA". Laguna Beach is a premium seaside destination, it is the only city in California with its entire coast designated as a boat-free and fishing-free zone, making it the only marine reserve in Southern California. In addition, in efforts to minimize plastic pollution, single-use plastics and containers are no longer allowed on beaches or trails, which helps to keep the beaches pristine and wildlife thriving. From the beach and into the wilderness or downtown, a visit to the Orange County Coast will surely be loaded with memories you get to take home with you.

- To make it easier to replace your passport if it’s lost or stolen, in addition to your passport, take a photocopy of your passport information page (keeping it separate from your actual passport).
- Carry only a limited amount of cash, just enough for gratuities and incidental purchases. Major credit cards are widely accepted and can be replaced if lost or stolen.
- Always lock your hotel room door (including patio and balcony door on any level of the building) and use the peephole before opening the door.
- Store your valuables (such as cash, credit cards and airline tickets) in the hotel’s in-room safe or front desk safety deposit box.
- If you must carry valuables on your person, do so in a pouch or money belt concealed under your clothing. Purses and backpacks can be easy targets for thieves.
- For complete and current safety and security information, including travelers' tips, public announcements, travel advisories and more, please visit the Government of Canada official website at https://travel.gc.ca.
