    Whether it’s manicured beach towns or celebrated theme parks, all framed by oceanfront towns, “The OC” stands out as one of the state’s iconic destinations. The always-amazing Disneyland Resort continues to be one of the best-loved theme parks in the world, while Knott’s Berry Farms and other attractions amp up the fun meter. Explore idyllic Laguna Beach, shop in Newport Beach or Costa Mesa’s spectacular South Coast Plaza, spot whales and dolphins in Dana Point, catch a wave in Huntington Beach, and sample culinary delights at the Anaheim Packing District. Every town has its own charm and personality, and every sunset is worth watching.
