Costa Mesa is nestled between Huntington Beach and Newport Beach, each boasting sandy shorelines along the Pacific Coast. Though Costa Mesa is not directly on the water, the city still offers beautiful views and nearby beaches. Downtown Costa Mesa is the city’s lively commercial district in Orange County, situated about 43 miles southeast of Downtown Los Angeles.
Charming local restaurants, shops, and community parks reside in and around town. Lions Park sits in the center of the neighborhood nearing State Route 55, offering an aquatic center, playground, and baseball field for community use.
Enjoy pristine oceanfront views from nearby West Newport Park along CA-1, or travel a little farther south to reach Newport Beach Pier.

And the best part is, this bustling area is just five miles southwest of Downtown Costa Mesa!
Local restaurants are booming with delicious food and drinks—you’ll find great coffee and the best, most creative donuts at Sidecar off of East 17th Street. In more of a seafood mood?
