Overview

On this self-guided audio tour, you'll take a joyride to surfers’ havens, whale-watching spots and vibey beach towns. Embark on an unforgettable journey with Adventure Inc., the premier provider of fun and exploration in Orange County.

Orange County’s sun-kissed shores and captivating stories invite explorers to linger longer and discover the secret corners only locals know about. Buckle up as you drive along the scenic Pacific Coast Highway on a driving tour from Huntington Beach (the land of sun, sand, and surf) to Seal Beach and, finally, Mission San Juan Capistrano, a historical landmark and cultural centre. As you cruise the coastline, you’ll discover how ancient Native American legends and modern celebrities have intermingled here, creating a rich cultural tapestry.

Along the way, we’ll point out beachy boutiques, high-end art galleries, and other local hotspots where you’ll surely find some treasures.

Prepare for a blend of beauty, history, and beach culture.
