Pines Park in Capistrano Beach sits on a bluff directly above the ocean. It’s a great place to roll out a picnic blanket while taking in bright blue ocean views and listening for the echoing sound of waves crashing below.
3 | For the Staycation Seeker Orange County Picnic Spots
Located near Montage Resort, you can find some of the prettiest views along Orange County’s coast. Sunset picnics at Treasure Island Park in Laguna Beach can’t be beat. You may even catch whale sightings at this grassy park above the surf!

“Picnic Park” is actually in the name of this beach park located on the northern side of Laguna Beach’s Heisler Park. The park above the beach offers grassy areas to spread out on as well as many picnic tables.

5 | For the Nature Lover
A tranquil park tucked behind the OC Fairgrounds, Tewinkle Park hosts a large pond, which is home to ducks, turtles and geese. The well-kept grounds offer beautiful walking trails and an abundance of mature trees for shade.
6 | For the Laid-Back, Local Experience
Bring on the beach days! This iconic surf spot is off the beaten path. San Onofre State Beach is one of [my] favorite hangouts because you can drive right up to the sand and enjoy a laid-back gathering under straw-thatched beach huts.
