Hidden gems locals actually know about
85 places across 12 Orange County towns that most visitors never find — tide pools that only appear at low tide, a 1926 tower at the end of a residential stairway, a canyon you can only reach on a docent-led hike. Where a spot is closed, tide-dependent or hard to reach, we say so on the entry instead of leaving it out.
