Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, often referred to simply as Laguna Beach, is an MTV reality television series, documenting the lives of several teenagers living in Laguna Beach, an affluent seaside community located in Orange County, California, United States. It differs from the usual reality television format by being structured as a traditional narrative (more commonly seen in fictionalized television dramas or soap operas) rather than a straightforward observant documentary-style.
The series premiered on September 28, 2004 and concluded on November 15, 2006. Having been relatively successful, it produced an even more popular spin-off, The Hills, which originally followed the life of cast member Lauren Conrad as she pursues a fashion career in Los Angeles. After Conrad left the series to pursue other opportunities, fellow Laguna Beach cast member Kristin Cavallari joined the show's cast.

“I’d take the bus downtown with my mother, and the big thing was to sit at the counter and get an orange drink and a tuna sandwich on toast. I thought I was living large!... When I was at the Ritz with the publisher a few months ago, I did think, “Oh my God, I’m in the Ritz tearoom.” ... The person who was so happy to sit at the Woolworths counter is now sitting at the Ritz, listening to the harp, and wondering what tea to order.... [ellipsis in source] Am I awake?”
—Connie Porter (b. 1959)
