Looking for a great local event? Head to Santa Ana on the first Saturday of every month. The Santa Ana Art Walk is a small event, but a variety of talented artists are here to show off (and sell) their work. It’s a great opportunity to meet some talented people and mingle with the community.
There’s also plenty to do around downtown Santa Ana – quite a lively bar scene, so this is a nice night out or date night. This is also a pretty nice part of Santa Ana, and there’s been a lot of development and even some gentrification in this area.
There are more exciting things you could do, but this nice for a local event. If you’re in the area, you should at least check it out sometime.
Local tide pools – great to see! But be respectful of nature. Don’t take or leave anything with you.
I had a great time at Whiting Ranch. It’s a great place to visit in Orange County if you want a quick, fun hike. If it’s been raining, however, it’s a muddy mess. Mountain bikes tolerated, but you have to be hardcore.
