This made Orange County an international tourist destination, increasing population and jobs. Since the success of the Disneyland park they decided to open a second park called Disney California Adventure in 2001. In 2018 Disneyland parks had approximately 18.6 million visitors making it the second most visited theme park in the world. Orange County is also known for beautiful cites with beaches, including Huntington Beach with a famous surfing museum. Newport Beach has a boat-filled harbor and sits opposite Balboa Peninsula.
