| Dana Point: Located about halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego on the southern Orange County coast, Dana Point Harbor is truly one of the southern Orange County coast, Dana Point Harbor is truly one of the most spectacular man-made harbors in the world. The harbor and adjacent city are named after Richard Henry Dana, who, in 1835 at the age of 19, sailed around Cape Horn aboard the trading brig "Pilgrim" in search of cowhides for Boston shoe factories. Upon his return, he wrote the book "Two Years Before The Mast". In his book he had the following to say: | |||||||||||||||||||
| "San Juan is the only romantic spot in California. The country here for several miles is high table-land, running boldly to the shore, and breaking off in a steep hill, at the foot of which the waters of the Pacific are constantly dashing. For several miles the water washes the very base of the hill, or breaks upon ledges and fragments of rocks which run out into the sea. Just where we landed was a small cove, or `bight,` which gave us, at high tide, a few square feet of sand-beach between the sea and the bottom of the hill. This was the only landing place. Directly before us, rose the perpendicular height of four or five hundred feet." | |||||||||||||||||||

Years Before the Mast" Laguna Beach: Laguna Beach is Southern California's premier seaside artist haven. Quaint cottages amidst subtropical gardens line bluffs above sandy coves along a seven mile scenic coastline. Inland, luxuriant foliage and sea view homes cover lower canyons and ridges of hills that rise more than 1,000 feet above the ocean. Artists began arriving here over a century ago to enjoy the year-round, picture-postcard weather. Today, visitors from around the world come to Laguna Beach to enjoy the many superb art galleries and restaurants, many with breathtaking sunset views. San Clemente: The City of San Clemente spans fifteen square miles of coastline and scenic foothills. The location of the City, long admired by explorers and passing settlers, remained virtually uninhabited until 1776, when Mission San Juan Capistrano was established by Father Junipero Serra and led both Indian and Spanish settlers to set up villages nearby. |
