I love going to the beach----any beach! One of my favorites is in Dana Point, CA. This is a view of the Dana Point Harbor from one of the cliffs that tower above it. But, it's beach is called Doheny.
This past weekend we decided to go to one of our favorite hotels in Dana Point----The Doubletree. It's just a short hop across the highway to Doheny State Beach. It was cloudy that day, but there was lots of activity on the beach.
Many people were surfing, from the very young to the very old. The waves were perfect.
In fact, there was a surfing competition going on that day called The Legends of Surf. These people were all over 60 and were fun to watch. I was very jealous of one of them---a little old lady like myself who held her own with the guys.
Duane was taking it all in.
There were booths with all kinds of surfing items, and we spotted this row of surfboards from all eras.
After taking it all in, we had dinner at Harpoon Henry's, famous for their seafood, then went back to the hotel where they had a band playing at their rooftop lounge.
Although I couldn't get a very good picture of the group called "Riptide", it was great fun and great surf music.
The next morning the fog rolled in, but I took a picture anyway of the "beach" outside our hotel window. We'll be back soon, I'm sure.
looks like a fun time! glad you and duane were able to get away.
