Welcome to Sea Grant's Guide to Orange County Beaches
These "clickable" maps provide information on access and facilities for beaches in Orange County. Internationally recognizable pictograms show recreational uses, beach features and amenities for beach locations, including lifeguard services and parking. The pictograms are translated into English and Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese for visitors as well as Orange County area residents. You can also click on individual symbols on the map pages for translations as you go.
This guide was developed by the University of Southern California Sea Grant Program, with the USC Geography Department's Geographic Information Systems (GIS) lab. Enjoy your "virtual tour" of Orange County beaches!
