Page 130 - 2017 Travel Guide to California

Sports fans cheer the Los Angeles Angels
at the Angel Stadium of Anaheim and the
Anaheim Ducks hockey team at Honda
Center, which doubles as a big-name con-
cert venue. More than 40 championship
courses and a temperate climate await
golfers, while hotel and day spas stand
ready to soothe aches and tone muscles.
City & Town
Anaheim is the largest of Orange County’s
34 cities. None has a truly distinctive
downtown, though Huntington Beach
offers a vibrant seaside city center. History
buffs gravitate to San Juan Capistrano’s
beautifully preserved 18th-century mission,
Yorba Linda’s Nixon Presidential Library
and the restored Victorian homes and his-
toric city centers in Santa Ana and Orange.
INSIDER’S

TIP
Southern California’s renowned
CAR CULTURE goes to extremes in
Newport Beach, which seems to
have more exotic auto
dealerships than Starbucks.
Aficionados can ogle BMW,
Maserati, Bentley and McLaren
beauties along seven miles of
Pacific Coast Highway from
Newport Boulevard to Newport
Center Drive. PHILLIPS AUTO sells
used versions of all of the above,
as well as Ferraris, Jaguars and
Lotuses. FASHION ISLAND, inland
on Newport Center Drive, is
home to Tesla, and Aston Martin
is a short way beyond.
LAMBORGHINI NEWPORT BEACH,
strangely enough, is actually in
adjacent Costa Mesa—or
perhaps not so strange in a
world where the Los Angeles
Angels are in Anaheim.
