I may be biased as I heart Dana Point
BIG TIME….
The City is full of history,
from the days of its discovery by Richard Henry Dana Jr.
to the “Killer Dana” surf break,The Beach Boys and Doheny…….
It is a beautiful harbor with wonderful hiking trails and
beaches as I noted in my 5 favorite walking trails post.
I have been lucky enough to have worked
along side with clients and the City on various
community events in the past.
Shane grew up going to the Ocean Institute as a kid.
As a family we have enjoyed playing in the
tide pools and various children’s programs at the
Ocean Institute, splashing in the water
at baby beach and Strands, as well as
Camping in the summer at Doheny State Beach.
*******************************************************
This weekend is the kick off to numerous family fun
events that take place in Dana Point Harbor.
March 2 and 3rd will be the first weekend
of the Festival of Whales.
Dana Point serves as a landmark for Whales
migrating from Mexico to Alaska during
peak season December to April.
The Harbor’s design and open parking allows for
easy access for visitors to view the open ocean views
as well as hiking to the top of the Headland’s to
see the whales migration in the distance.
This year’s events include:
Movie in the Park, Magical Migration Parade,
Ocean Awareness Day, Rubber Ducky Race and lots more!!
These community events make this town a great place
to vacation with family.
The Festival of Whales continues March 9-10.
If you can’t make it to this event with your family,
I do highly recommend making and researching a trip
to Dana Point, California.
With reasonable rates and a beautiful location
as “the only hotel in the harbor”
Dana Point Marina Inn is steps away from
various restaurants and shops in the harbor.
The city is drivable to San Diego, Los Angeles,
and of course Disneyland.
Future upcoming events are:
Doheny Blues Festival, Concerts in the Park,
Toshiba Tallships Festival, Doheny Days, and
Dana Point Harbor Boat Parade.
Come down and make a few family memories
of your own……..
