18. What are the best beaches?
Newport Beach - 22 minutes from Disneyland
18.8 miles
CA-55 S
40 mins in traffic
From small quiet, sandy beaches to "The Wedge" (Jetty View Park) where the surfers
hang out, Newport Beach is 22 square miles of great beach. It offers two piers,
ferry trips, cruises around the harbor, boat rentals and trips to Catalina
Island. There are several public golf courses and the opportunity to "star spot"
as many celebrities have homes there. Newport Beach is about 7 miles SW of John
Wayne Airport. Near Newport Beach is Balboa Island, a man-made island that
was created just prior to World War I. It has its own unique identity and a
charm all its own. Corona del Mar in Newport Beach offers beautiful sandy
beaches and coves that look like they come right out of a movie set. You
actually may have seen these beaches in movie and television productions such as
Gilligan's Island and current "made for TV" productions from Disney.
For children we recommend: Corona Del Mar State Beach - a popular place for swimmers. The half-mile long sandy beach framed by cliffs and a rock jetty that forms the east entrance to Newport
Harbor. The beach is also popular with surfers and divers. The beach can be
reached via an access road near the intersection of Iris Street and Ocean
Boulevard in Corona del Mar. Entrance fee per vehicle. Hours: 8 am to 8 pm.
Facilities: Lifeguards, rest rooms, showers, picnic
tables, and fire pits.
Long Beach - 45 minutes from Disneyland
39 miles
I-105 W
90 minutes in traffic
For children we recommend: Mothers Beach at Marine Park on Appian Way at 2nd St. It is located in a
marina. The 4-acre Marine Park has volleyball courts, a play area and picnic
sites. Mother's Beach is popular for parents with small children because of the
calm waters and nearby lifeguard towers. A colorful playground and interactive
whale that shoots water from its spout are fun things for children at Mother's
Beach. Restrooms are near the playground and a grass lawn with large shade trees
is perfect for those who don't care for the sand. Cool breezes blow through the
area on warm days making this a desirable spot to be. There is a lot with coin
parking meters.
Huntington Beach - 30 minutes from Disneyland
19 miles
CA-22 W to CA-39 S
40 minutes in traffic
Huntington Beach is great for families with older teenagers. The long pier is a great "hang
out" place, with shopping and plenty of activities, as well as some of the best
al fresco dining.
Seal Beach - 26 minutes from Disneyland
21 miles
CA-22 W
40 minutes in traffic
Seal Beach will make anyone's list of the best beaches around Anaheim. This is not just because of
the actual beach but also the great facilities and area around it. Seal Beach is
a family-friendly place with great shopping, excellent restaurants, and
activities such as fishing from the charming pier area.
19. How do I read the availability calendars?
"Reserved" and "Blocked" both indicate dates are reserved. A new reservation can begin the same day another reservation ends.
