This establishing shot was first seen on "The O.C." in Episode 8 (of Season 3) - "The Game Plan".

This one isn't Orange County. Although they resemble the beach homes on the Balboa Peninsula, you'll actually
find these homes on the beach just west of where Malibu Road meets Malibu Colony Road, in Malibu, CA.

   



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.
