About location

The landscape around Costa Mesa is a low, densely developed coastal plain near the Pacific Ocean, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. State Route 73 crosses the city as part of Orange County’s freeway network, meeting Interstate 405 close to Costa Mesa’s northern side. This transport infrastructure reflects the city’s place within the closely linked communities of Southern California. Away from the interchange, Costa Mesa is a regional retail and arts destination: South Coast Plaza is here, alongside the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, a major performing-arts complex. The Orange County Fairgrounds also give the city a public role beyond its residential areas and business districts.

City Costa Mesa

Costa Mesa occupies a coastal plain between the Santa Ana River and Newport Bay in southern Orange County. Although linked to the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, it has established itself as a commercial and performing-arts centre in its own right. South Coast Plaza is among the United States’ leading destinations for luxury retail, while the Segerstrom Center for the Arts presents opera, dance, theatre and orchestral music. The Orange County Fairgrounds host the annual Orange County Fair, a long-running summer institution. Near the Pacific coast, Costa Mesa also borders Newport Beach and its harbour-focused shoreline.

California occupies a long Pacific coastal belt in the United States. Its terrain ranges from the Sierra Nevada and the fertile Central Valley to deserts in the southeast and the rugged shores of the Pacific Ocean. The state includes both Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States, and extensive protected lands such as Yosemite National Park. California’s cities have exerted worldwide influence through film, technology, agriculture, and music; Hollywood remains an enduring symbol of the American screen industry. Its scale means climates and local character can change dramatically from one county to the next. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of California.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
