Orange County stretches 42 miles of the southern California coast. To the north, it shares a border with Los Angeles County, and to the south, San Diego County. It has eastern borders with Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. The northwest region of the county accommodates most of its incorporated cities, which extend southward along the coastline.
Orange County has a comprehensive transportation network, including airports, railroads, and freeways. This freeway system connects the county's workforce with employment hubs in Los Angeles while offering widespread accessibility in the county itself.
Orange County, also referred to as "The OC," includes Huntington Beach, Anaheim (home to Disneyland), Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano, Costa Mesa, Buena Park, Irvine, and Santa Ana and is one of the southernmost counties in the state. It offers a beach-centric lifestyle, differentiating OC from urban counterparts like San Diego. Moreover, it blends relaxed surfer vibes and upscale accommodations.
