This full-day private coastal tour from Hermosa Beach is a perfectly paced journey through Orange County’s most beloved waterfront destinations. Blending historic charm, artistic enclaves, and laid-back surf culture, this tour offers a stylish way to explore Southern California’s iconic coastline—with a dedicated local guide, a comfortable private vehicle, and plenty of photo-worthy stops along the way.
Your day begins in San Juan Capistrano, California’s oldest continuously inhabited town. During a 40-minute walking stop, you’ll explore the Los Rios Historic District, browse artisan boutiques, admire preserved adobe homes, and step inside the striking Mission Basilica—a living piece of California history.
From there, cruise past the boats and bluffs of Dana Point Harbor, then continue up the coast into the artsy town of Laguna Beach, where you’ll enjoy a 1-hour lunch break (not included). You can relax oceanside, browse the galleries and boutiques, or stroll through scenic spots like Main Beach, Crescent Bay, or Thousand Steps Beach.
The scenic drive continues along the cliffside path of Heisler Park, past the pristine shoreline of Crystal Cove, and through the elegant neighborhoods of Corona del Mar. Your next stop is Balboa Island, where you’ll have 30 minutesto enjoy frozen bananas, browse the boutique shops of Marine Avenue, or catch a view of the iconic ferry gliding across the harbor.
The final stop of the day brings you to Huntington Beach, also known as Surf City USA. You’ll have 40 minutes to walk the Huntington Beach Pier, explore Pacific City, or stroll down surfboard-lined Main Street for a taste of classic California beach life.
As the sun begins its descent, your return trip takes you past the Bolsa Chica Wetlands, an important coastal habitat, and the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station, where your guide offers insight into Southern California’s coastal ecosystem and maritime history. You’ll return to Hermosa Beach by early evening—having experienced the full range of Orange County’s coast in one unforgettable, expertly guided day.
