The countdown is on for Orange County to celebrate the Fourth of July in unforgettable style. Whether you're looking for ocean views, a waterfront dinner, or a classic barbecue bash, I’ve rounded up some of the most festive and unique ways to enjoy Independence Day across the region.
Truly one of the most special hotels in Orange County, the Surf & Sand in Laguna Beach, an iconic oceanfront resort, has completed its highly anticipated property-wide transformation, unveiling redesigned guest rooms and suites, a striking new lobby and lounge, refreshed dining and spa experiences, and upgraded conference and event spaces. The reimagined Surf & Sand highlights one of Southern California’s most picturesque stretches of coastline, with panoramic ocean views featured throughout the resort.
This Independence Day, watch the fireworks light up the coast from Orange County’s highest rooftop lounge. Offshore 9, perched atop The Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach, will host a one-of-a-kind Fourth of July celebration from 4 to 10 p.m. on Friday, July 4. Guests will enjoy sweeping ocean views, a live DJ, and front-row seats to the Huntington Beach fireworks show—all from a stylish rooftop setting. Admission starts at $59 per person and includes access to Offshore 9, a signature “Glow-in-the-Cloud” sparkler cocktail, and Seafood Chowder Tots. A special holiday menu featuring All-American classics will also be available for purchase.
