There’s so much to get into in the O.C. In fact, here’s an idea for the ultimate itinerary for your stay:
Start off with breakfast at the family-owned and operated restaurant The Sugar Shack Café. After almost 50 years in business, The Sugar Shack serves a breakfast menu that’s absolutely delicious and that could easily rival the menu of a 5-star hotel at a fraction of the cost. Regulars come to the cafe every day–sometimes more than once because the owners are known to make you feel at home and give you a meal that’s fit for royalty.
After breakfast, grab a bike rental from Toes on the Nose. Enjoy 10-miles of paved boardwalk along Huntington Beach where you’ll enjoy scenic views along with a cardio-pumping excursion. It’s a great way to work off some of those holiday indulgences in addition to exploring new places to visit. If bike riding isn’t up your alley, opt for yoga on the beach. Give your body a bit of wintertime rejuvenation while taking in the sun and sand. You can participate in group sessions with Huntington Beach regulars or try a private session with you and your travel mates.
What’s a vacation without shopping? Pacific City is a premier shopping, dining and lifestyle destination in the O.C. It includes stores such as Equinox, H&M, West of Camden, M.A.C. Cosmetics, and more to meet the desires of any fashionista’s heart. Also, check out South Coast Plaza and its Access VIP Lounge. The lounge is a resting spot that serves beverages, cocktails and snacks to recharge you for more shopping or give you a break to just enjoy your splurges. Â You can do some last-minute holiday shopping or, if you really want to indulge, take advantage of some post-holiday sales.
