Things to do while visiting SoCal
I get a lot of questions about various accomodations and activities in the Laguna Hills area. This is a new thread devoted to all things fun and exciting here in soutghern California.
From time to time I will post ideas for you all. Please also post your ideas and questions!!!!:prof:
The Beachcomber at Crystal Cove
Located in Crystal Cove State park, the Beachcomber has the best location of any restaurant in Southern California. It is the only one located right on the beach at sea level. It is surrounded by restored historical beach cottages. The Beachcomber is known for its tradition of raising the Martini Flag at 5 pm each day with a bugle burst to mark the beginning of cocktail hour. While this is one of the finest places to toast the sunset, my favorite is to come for breakfast. A rigorous walk along the almost 3 mile beach is a great way to build an appetite. They have a very fine full breakfast menu. They are happy to give you a ‘to go’ cup for your coffee so that you can continue to explore the beautiful, unspoiled beach to the north of the restaurant after breakfast. In mid-December-January and March-April, whale watching is possible from this vantage. The California Gray whales make their way from the Berring Sea to Baja California and back. There is also world class hiking and mountain biking on the El Morro Canyon trail immediately south and across the highway from the Beachcomber. I will discuss EL Morro in a separate post.http://www.hiddencalifornia.com/CrystalCove.html http://www.thebeachcombercafe.com/im...ndex2007_3.jpg
