For the ultimate upgrade, kick back in a private cabana complete with shade, lounge chairs, and food service—perfect for soaking up the sun in style.
Savor the Flavors
Couples craving great food will love Porto's Bakery, named Best of the Southland by the LA Times, where affordable Cuban sandwiches and potato balls pair perfectly with a specialty coffee. Foodie duos can slurp award-winning ramen at Ramen & Tsukemen TAO, honored in the California MICHELIN Guide for its flavor and value. Prefer pho? Head to SUP Noodle Bar, voted OC's Best Pho, and don't skip the loaded shaken fries. For a taste of Chicago, Portillo's Hot Dogs delivers with Italian beef, char-grilled burgers, and a must-share chocolate cake shake. Don't miss Buena Park's Koreatown, a foodie lover's paradise spanning over 2.5 miles along Beach Boulevard. Couples can snack, shop, and snap pics together at The Source OC, then top off the evening with a shareable sundae from Dzert, a dessert bar known for its Instagram-worthy sweets and cozy date-night vibes.
Cheers to the Night
When the sun sets, Buena Park comes alive. Kick off your evening at The Cauldron Spirits & Brews, a witch-themed cocktail bar full of moody vibes and magical surprises. Then, hop over to Rock & Brews for craft beer and comfort food or share a sizzling Argentine steak at Gaucho Grill. Night owls should head to Beach Boulevard Club, a hidden speakeasy with a live dueling piano show powered by audience requests and sing-along energy.
Rest & Romance
After a day of adventure, unwind at one of Buena Park's welcoming hotels. Cozy up around the fire pit at Courtyard Marriott Buena Park, or enjoy a complimentary breakfast at Fairfield Inn or Hampton Inn. At DoubleTree Buena Park, couples can sip Starbucks at Marbles Lounge before catching the hotel's free shuttle to Knott's or Disneyland.
