Paddleboarding in Dana Point Harbor
I went paddleboarding around Dana Point Harbor with a friend in August. The beaches were packed with cars and surfers, this time of year. You just can't drive to your favorite surf spot, and expect to just park. I picked up a paddleboard awhile back to have when I went to the Sierras, on vacation with my daughter, to use on lakes. I had never taken it in the ocean before.
Dana Point Harbor Hike
Follow me for a scenic 3 mile hike around Dana Point Harbor in Orange County, CA past the boats and ships docked by Baby Beach, and the Ocean Institute. It's an east hike, that just about anyone might enjoy, if they love boats, and nautical stuff, as much as I do.
A Windy Day and a Big Swell in Dana Point: Killer Dana Rises Again
The swell was building, as massive waves crashed across Dana Point breakwater, a long jetty protecting the harbor. I was standing right by the Ocean Institute with the headlands towering above. I always loved this spot, for checking the waves.
The San Onofre Bluffs: 6 mile Beach Loop Hike
I went for a 6 mile scenic hike at one of my favorite coastal bluffs, at San Onofre State Beach. It’s a kind of strange location to find a state park, sandwiched between a border patrol checkpoint to the east of it, the remnants of a nuke plant to the north of it, and the huge expanse of Camp Pendleton, to the south and east of it.
