Sightseeing

For first-time visitors, this the first recommendation on my list. Charming old California town atmosphere with lots of restaurants and dozens of antique shops. Just two blocks from Chapman University, the atmosphere is youthful and vibrant. Watson Drug Store is a must-see; it was featured in the Tom Hanks movie 'That Thing You. Do.'

My favorite beach city by far. Walk along Heisler Park for stunning views of the ocean and, on a clear day, Catalina Island. Dozens of interesting shops and restaurants. The quintessential So Cal beach venue.

My favorite shopping mall. Outdoors, overlooking the ocean. Interesting stores, good people watching (you'll see rich people), and the Island Cinema is a terrific place to see a film--beer, wine, snacks served right to your comfy reclining seat. Pricey, but worth it.
