You might think The OC is a famous, celebrity-filled, bottle blonde breeding, travel destination on the West Coast, but you are wrong. Actually, the real OC is a 10-mile island in the state of New Jersey. Consisting of great people, and even better food, this place provides a "home away from home" for all who inhabit it. Those who reside there or simply spend their summers there agree on one certain fact: it is the best place on planet earth.
