Iconic Southern California

It's a surfboard slung under a tanned arm along Huntington Beach, a pair of Mickey Mouse ears on a child's head, a sunset framed by luxurious yachts in Newport Beach. It's "The O.C.," one of California’s -- make that the country's -- most iconic destinations, and it's easy to figure out why, with spectacular theme parks, beach towns, top shopping, sand between your toes, and a year-round smile on your face.
