Orange County's coast runs 42 miles from Seal Beach to San Clemente. Newport Beach has the Balboa Peninsula, a strip of sand with the ocean on one side and the harbor on the other, lined with rental houses on the boardwalk. Laguna Beach is coves and tide pools under the bluffs. Huntington Beach is the wide surf beach with the long pier. Dana Point and San Clemente at the south end are quieter, with beach houses along Capistrano Beach that sit on the sand.
