Don’t Think North County People Are Like Their South County Counterparts

Orange County’s cultural diversity makes for a confusing scenario for those visiting especially for the first time. To make it simple, the regions of the North are separated from the South by a dividing line known as the Costa Mesa Freeway. The further South you go, the less people speak Spanish. Southern County locals are typical surfer-types that say “dude” ridiculously often, wear khakis, floral prints, and use flip-flops wherever they go. Popular beaches include Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, and Seal Beach, to name a few.They are wealthier and less racially diverse. Northern County people are more laid back, love doing backyard barbecues, or go loiter at the malls. The region is more Hispanic and Asian (predominantly Vietnamese and Filipino). It has more renters as compared to land owners, as residents are not as wealthy as their Southern counterparts. So try not to get confused, and do as they do in their regions.
