The morning before I left to go back to San Diego, Brian’s parents and I went to Dana Point Harbor for a little walk that goes around the top of the cliff point. It was very sandy… like they dumped a beach on the pathway. It was also incredibly sunny. It only took us 30 ish minutes, but it was a nice adventure. It’s also a nature preserve, so it’s only open a few days a week, and a lot of offshoots were closed off for restoration at the time we went.

This is looking north toward Laguna Beach.

Next is looking south. From this path, the cliff blocks the harbor.

But, then, we actually found another, shorter path facing the harbor itself (and toward San Clemente).

This was a great spot for a stroll before lunch on the harbor (which is exactly what we did!)
