Understand

Get in

For most international visitors Los Angeles International Airport (LAX IATA) will be the main entry point, but if you can get a flight into John Wayne Airport or (SNA IATA) Long Beach Airport (LGB IATA) they are much easy to get though and out of.

Interstate 5 and Interstate 405 will get you into the region.

Get around

This is OC, the main form of transport is the car.

OCTA bus route 1 travels from Cal State Long Beach to San Clemente using Pacific Coast Highway. This bus route gives you access to almost every beach in the county as it runs along the coast.
