Orange County, within which Anaheim resides has some of the best beaches in Southern California...
The Beach Boys (or was it
Jan and Dean?) didn't call it
Surf City for nothing. I recommend Laguna, Huntington and of course Balboa and Corona del Mar.
If you have kids, then take in Adventure City (for smaller kids). For Mom and Dad some really good bargains, especially considering the Pound vs. Dollar exchange rate would be Anaheim Indoor Market at 1440 S Anaheim Blvd. Of course there are numerous excellent golf courses, if you choose.
Transportation without a car
can be a problem, but you can see here that they bus service is pretty good :
