Anaheim puts you close to some of the most popular beaches in the country, including the area known as “Surf City, USA.” Just half an hour away from your Anaheim lodging is Huntington Beach, named the most family-friendly surf beach in the US. This is a wonderful destination whether you wish to try surfing for the first time with lessons or already have the skill to ride the curl. Catch the awesome waves, and enjoy other water sports such as kite sailing, or wind surfing. Also, Huntington Beach features one of the largest recreational piers in the world, which offers shopping, dining, and amazing views. The city also boasts a wildlife preserve and a marina.

Head in any direction, and you will find activities for every member of the family to enjoy. Your only problem will be fitting in all you might want to do. What won’t be a problem is finding the perfect place to stay.

Heading the other direction from your Anaheim lodging, you can visit Irvine Regional Park.

While you’re enjoying the beauty of Nature, perhaps you will head north to visit the Fullerton Arboretum. This 26-acre botanical garden includes plants from around the world. Enjoy them and the abundant native wildlife as you stroll among ponds and streams. While here, you might visit the Heritage House, an 1894 Victorian cottage which has been turned into a museum representing turn-of-the-century California life.

Although these escapes to nature can be relaxing, if you really want to unwind, you’ll visit the Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa. Head east from your Anaheim villa, and you’ll find this natural mineral waters spa nestled in a hidden canyon.
