Sightseeing
You can't come to OC and now check out the beach! The Newport Landing Whale Watching is a fun activity that is about 2.5 hours. They take you out from Newport Beach and down to Laguna Beach to whale watch and dolphin watch. Whales are not guaranteed as it is seasonal, but there are always dolphins and seals frolicking around!
