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……..
