About this activity

Start just outside Disneyland in Anaheim and hear how Walt Disney’s 1955 Magic Kingdom transformed Orange County, then trade the theme parks for the Pacific on this self-guided coastal drive. Your GPS-triggered audio guide leads you about 59 miles south through Santa Ana’s historic downtown, past Christ Cathedral, and along the coast through Newport Beach, Balboa Island, Crystal Cove and Laguna Beach, finishing at the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano. Along the way, uncover Native American roots, Prohibition-era secrets, legendary surf spots and the artists and celebrities who grew up here. Stop for lunch, a swim or a sunset whenever you like. Staying near the parks? This is the perfect day out beyond the rides.

Highlights: - Drive from Disneyland to the coast at your own pace, with offline audio and maps. - See Newport Beach, Balboa Island, Crystal Cove and the art town of Laguna Beach. - End at the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano.
