If you think you know everything about Southern California, that it\u2019s all beaches and theme parks, think again! Costa Mesa is where the real<\/em> magic happens. Known as the City of the Arts\u00ae<\/a>, this crown jewel of Orange County is all about unforgettable experiences. Think Broadway-calibre theater, shopping that puts Rodeo Drive to shame, and a foodie scene that boasts Michelin-recognized dining<\/a>. If glitz and glamor isn\u2019t your scene, try indie creativity with hidden-gem boutiques, vintage photobooths, and quirky experiences like snake yoga. Read on to find out what you can do in Costa Mesa that you can\u2019t do anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find Costa Mesa nestled between Los Angeles and San Diego, so it\u2019s an easy drive for locals. If you\u2019re further away, fly into John Wayne Airport<\/a> (SNA) to beat the LAX crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exclusive Bites<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Celeb chef-turned-actor Matty Matheson (you probably recognize him from The Bear) <\/em>opened Matty\u2019s Patty\u2019s Burger Club<\/a> in Toronto, where it received gangbuster reviews. You don\u2019t have to fly to Canada to get a taste of one of these saucy, saucy burgers or gooey poutine: the only other location is in Costa Mesa! (P.S. Get the Pineapple Soft Serve for dessert. It\u2019s the perfect finish.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mercado Gonzalez<\/a> is a 70,000-square-feet Mexican market transplanted to Costa Mesa. The food choices are plentiful, and traversing the whole thing can be an all-day adventure. No need for plane tickets or border crossings here; just show up hungry. For that extra dose of exclusivity, we rec the churros from Churrer\u00eda El Moro, since Mercado Gonzalez is the flagship U.S. location where you can try their famous treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wild & Wonderful Experiences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ain\u2019t no fair like the OC Fair<\/a>! Running from mid-July to mid-August, this summer extravaganza has rides, live music with artists like Melissa Ethridge, Fitz & the Tantrums, and Blues Traveler, and deep-fried everything, along with fresh, healthier options. While the Fair has wrapped up for 2025, the excitement doesn\u2019t end when the Fair does. The Fairgrounds hosts events<\/a> all year. We’re looking forward to OC Japan Fair<\/a> in October for the incredible food, and Gem Faire in December for everything that stuns and sparkles. The OC Fair & Events Center brings all the classic, nostalgic fun of a county fair, but bigger, better, and with Southern Californian flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got a case of FOMO? Try out viral experiences IRL in Costa Mesa, like LXRYoga\u2019s famous (and adorable) snake yoga<\/a>. Sure, goat yoga has been all the rage on the apps, but snake yoga is another thing entirely; the snakes are friendly and calm, there\u2019s five minutes of photo opps to get your perfect snake selfie, and you get to hang out with a slithery new friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If snakes give you creepy-crawlies, there\u2019s another viral hit in Booth by Bryant<\/a>. Miss the old analog photobooths and their cute black-and-white pics? They\u2019re a relic of the past, but in Costa Mesa, you can hop into a vintage booth and bring back memories or make new ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Costa Mesa\u2019s known as The City of the Arts\u00ae for so many reasons, but a big one is the Orange County Museum of Art<\/a> (OCMA). The museum is a love letter to modern and contemporary art, and especially to California. Best yet, because of an endowment, admission is free. Accessible, cultural, and thought-provoking, with frequent rooftop events and artist talks, OCMA is one the coolest places in the city.

Retail Therapy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Costa Mesa has all sorts of shopping experiences that think outside of the box. The CAMP<\/a> is a green, eco-conscious, and healthy-minded outdoor retail campus with tons of dining options, sustainable and artisanal shops, and even a ceramic and pottery studio. Every time we go to the CAMP, we find something new to obsess over; recently, it\u2019s been the 2nd Street USA location, where we\u2019re obsessed with the well-curated, premium secondhand goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The LAB<\/a> is not<\/em> a mall; it\u2019s an anti-mall. The variety of shops and restaurants\u2014like Buffalo Exchange for thrifting, an Airstream trailer selling vinyls at Creme Tangerine, and Chef Atsushi Yokoyama\u2019s Hana re, just to name a few\u2014puts hometown malls to shame. Not that we have anything against an Orange Julius, patron saint of our childhoods, but we\u2019d much rather go to a speakeasy like RUIN<\/a> and have a Kiki Kiwi cocktail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We saved some of the best for last with South Coast Plaza<\/a>. Not only is it the largest shopping center on the West Coast, with over 250 retailers, but it\u2019s also the home to incredible food and the Segerstrom Center for the Arts (where you can find OCMA). South Coast Plaza is the West Coast\u2013exclusive home to brands like Alexander Wang, Missoni, Khaite, and Chopard. Beverly Hills who<\/em>?
