3. Laguna Beach, California
People who grew up watching TV in the 2000s will remember MTV’s reality show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. Fortunately, Laguna Beach has managed to separate itself from the TV show, and remains a quiet, classy resort town in balmy Orange County, California and is known for its excellent surfing. A five-block stretch of beach right outside of the main town area has hosted a regular surfing competition since 1955.
Laguna Beach also has a fantastic arts and culture scene – their Pageant of the Masters (where real people dress up as famous artworks for an appreciative live audience) was parodied in the Arrested Development episode “In God We Trust”.
