Top Reasons to Go

Disneyland: Walking down Main Street, U.S.A., with Sleeping Beauty Castle straight ahead, you really will feel like you’re in one of the happiest places on Earth.

Beautiful beaches: Surf, swim, kayak, paddleboard, or just relax on some of the state’s most breathtaking stretches of coastline. Calm coves offer clear water for snorkeling and scuba diving.

Santa Catalina Island: Just 22 miles from the mainland, Santa Catalina Island is the only inhabited island of the Channel Islands chain. A fast and easy cruise away on a high-speed catamaran, once there you can explore the Mediterranean-inspired small town of Avalon, dive or snorkel through the state's first underwater park, or explore the unspoiled beauty of the island's wild interior.

Family fun: Ride roller coasters, eat ice cream and frozen chocolate-dipped bananas, bike on oceanfront paths, fish off ocean piers, or rent a Duffy boat and cruise around the calm harbors.
