Would you like to know about a summer travel destination that offers a tremendous amount of diversity in the vacation opportunities and activities? Everybody has different goals for their summer travel. It may include hitting a bunch of theme parks like Knott’s Berry Farm, or relaxing in the mountains. For others it is visiting the local museums or hiking or deep sea sport fishing.

One of the first places one thinks of in terms of Southern California vacation destinations is the Resort devoted to Disneyland, California Adventure and Downtown Disney, where you will find some of the most interesting Orange County restaurants.

If you haven’t been to Anaheim in several years, you’ll be amazed at the changes. The addition of Disney’s California Adventure alone has changed the whole atmosphere of the Resort, and with the billion-dollar upgrade now underway this will only continue into the future. You will observe an international blend of cultures in the visitors at the parks and at Downtown Disney. In fact, people watching at Disneyland can be a fascinating activity, with a rich mix of cultures all in one place.

Speaking of a cultural melting pot, Southern California in general is a concoction of people and cultures from around the world. Although there are often visitors from Europe, Africa and Asia, the countries along the Pacific Ocean are particlularly well represented.

You’ll find quite a number of ethnic communities scattered throughout Southern California, and worth a visit in your summer travel activities. These include Chinatown, Little Tokyo and Koreatown in Los Angeles County. Some of the best-known ethnic communities in Orange County include the Vietnamese community in Little Saigon, and the Hispanic community around Fourth Street in Santa Ana.
