Great weather and ideal recreational facilities make Orange County an outdoor enthusiast's dream. The Pacific ocean fronts the County, opening up a world of water activities from deep-sea fishing out of Dana Point to kayaking along million dollar homes in Huntington and Newport harbors. There are no less than six piers open to fishermen, diners, marine enthusiasts, and strollers.

Inland, there are hundreds of miles of hiking trails, including Arroyo Trabuco Trail which runs for 15 miles from the boundary of Cleveland National Forest to the ocean. All in all, the County of Orange has over 30,000 acres of spectacular parkland where you can fish, hike, bike, run, swim, camp, or experience a number of other activities. If that's not enough, you can sail to Catalina, rollerblade along the beach boardwalk, or try your hand at skimboarding, a sport that was invented in Orange County.
