Orange County Scoop is a local guide to discovering restaurants, events, activities, and trusted services across all 34 cities in Orange County, California. Its directories are organized around three main ways to explore: places to eat, things to do, and local businesses to hire. Visitors can search by keyword or city, browse categories such as restaurants, ice cream shops, car shows, festivals, and other events, and find service providers including plumbers, photographers, landscapers, and surf instructors.

The guide highlights featured businesses and hidden gems, presenting local recommendations alongside city guides and stories about Orange County’s culture, history, and communities. The site says featured selections are chosen by its editors, while hidden gems are not paid placements. Businesses can submit events or add a listing, with separate resources for business listings, pricing, and partnerships.

Orange County Scoop also offers a weekly newsletter featuring local events, restaurant openings, and car show updates, delivered on Thursday mornings.
