Orange County lines up some of California's best beach resorts along one short stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway. You can stay on a bluff in Laguna Beach, book a golf and spa resort in Dana Point, play two Tom Fazio courses on Newport Coast, or walk across the street to the sand in Huntington Beach. Most of these resorts are under an hour from much of Southern California, so a resort staycation here takes very little planning, and mild weather makes it a good choice in any season.
Orange County's best resorts sit in four beach towns, from Laguna Beach and Dana Point to Newport Beach and Huntington Beach.
Laguna Beach mixes art galleries and coves with resorts on the bluffs and right on the sand.
Montage Laguna Beach sits on the bluffs of South Laguna above the Pacific, known for its ocean views, a secluded beach, a full spa, and fine dining.
Surf & Sand is a Laguna Beach resort set directly on the beach, so most rooms look straight out over the waves, with a spa and a short walk to town.
Dana Point has two of the county's grandest resorts, with golf, big spas, and ocean views from the cliffs.
Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach is a large resort in Dana Point with a golf course, a big spa, and a beach club close to the sand.
The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel stands on a cliff in Dana Point above Salt Creek Beach, with wide ocean views, a spa, and sunset-facing lawns.
Newport Beach offers hillside villas with golf on Newport Coast and a waterfront resort on the bay.
The Resort at Pelican Hill on Newport Coast has guest bungalows and villas, a spa, and two golf courses designed by Tom Fazio.
Balboa Bay Resort sits on Newport Harbor in Newport Beach, with bay-view rooms and waterfront dining at a lower price than most coastal resorts.
Surf City has large resorts across the Pacific Coast Highway from the beach, close to the pier and Main Street.
Waterfront Beach Resort stands across the Pacific Coast Highway from Huntington City Beach, a short walk from the pier, with a large pool area.
Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach is a resort and spa across the highway from the beach, with pools, a spa, and easy access to the sand.
