👍👍 Beautiful Queen Anne style Victorian home built in 1906 and wonderfully preserved like a museum. It is one of the last homes of this style ever built. Even the toiletries are in place.

Tustin Blimp Hangar #2

Historical place

👍👍 An amazing bit of history, well worth a visit if you get the chance. Find a documentary about it online, and then it's even more impressive to get a look at it from the inside! (annual Tustin Food and Wine Festival is held there - worth the ticket if only for the view inside the hanger!)

SS Dominator Shipwreck

Historical place

👍 Coastal trek to the site of a shipwreck. It’s not so much a hiking trail as it is walking over rocks on the beach trying not to twist your ankle. Hiking boots with ankle support are strongly recommended. Came here with a friend on a Saturday around 10:30am and it was very sunny - make sure to wear s...
