Huntington Beach, Newport Beach and San Clemente are popular towns for surfers in Orange County, just south of Los Angeles. "San Clemente is home to the Trestles surf break, one of the best in California, and Newport Beach has the Wedge, which breaks right on the sand when the surf is big," said Sam Smith, founder of Beach Cities Real Estate. A few years ago,Michael Kors, surfers and conservationists blocked a new road that would have changed the sediment patterns near Trestles.
