My advice is to stick with Orange County Beaches. They are easy to get to from Anaheim and a lot closer. For easy parking check out Bolsa Chicha and Huntington. They are State parks so they have good parking right at the sand, but you pay to get in...not sure thebprice but under twenty dollars. Those also have smaller waves then Newport and the more south orange county beaches. Bolsa does not have shops and restaurants, just a snack bar. Huntington has restaurants shops and stuff.
I suggest driving down Pacific Coast Hwy (PCH). It's congested but you will get to see a lot of great beaches and when you get down to Dana Point, hop back on the 5 Fwy and it will take you back to Disneyland.
Venice beach is weird and at least 1 1/2 hrs from D-land. A lot of odd people doing odd things
all out of towners in my family want to see it and then they are disappointed. Just my Orange County opinion......

Also, it's fun to take the ferry from Newport to Balboa Island. If you don't take the car it is under a dollar to ride. It takes about 3 minutes but you usually see sea lions. Lots of restaurants and the fun zone with a ferris wheel is on the Newport side.
