This
establishing shot of the real Orange County was first seen on "The O.C." in Episode
10 (of season two) - "The Accomplice"

We are
looking at an office building which is just north of Newport
Fashion Island mall,
on Center Drive, between San Simeon & Newport Drive.
The
broad street running on the left (northeast) side of this photo is San
Juaquin Hills Road.
The curving road see on the upper left (south) of this photo is Newport
Center Drive,
which circles Newport Fashion
Island mall.

Important:
These "establishing shots" of Orange County are not locations
where The O.C. is actually filmed.
The O.C. is not really filmed in Orange County - it is filmed in
Los Angeles County. These "establishing shots"
are brief aerial snapshots of actual Orange County locations, which the
producers drop into the show to add color and
to help create the illusion that we are seeing the real Orange County.
I have included this list of their "establishing shots"
to supplement the main list of actual filming
locations. You can tell the difference by color: the actual filming
location
pages are gold, while the "establishing shot" pages are blue.

locations where The O.C. is actually filmed,
