Presiding over its own 500-foot white, sandy beach, the 164 room Surf and Sand Hotel is unique among California coastal hotels in that each room has a balcony or deck with a direct ocean view. Midway between Los Angeles and San Diego, the hotel is only 20 minutes from John Wayne Orange County Airport, 60 miles from Los Angeles International Airport and 20 miles from Disneyland. The Surf and Sand Hotel has a new critically acclaimed beachfront restaurant, Splashes, serving a light Meditarranean inspired menu.
