Things To Do
Del Mar Street & San Clemente Pier
Walk down the main street running through the charming town of San Clemente, and end on the pier - the same pier where we got engaged! There is great shopping, food and coffee along the way.
Laguna Beach
Whether it's grabbing an ocean view sunset bite, walking along the ocean cliffs, shopping or viewing art galleries, it's always a great day spent in Laguna Beach! Our main recommendations for food and libations are The Deck (on the ocean, great for happy hour), Zinc Cafe and Gelato Paradiso. Visit the stunning beaches of Thousand Steps, Table Rock or walk the Heisler Park path!
Mission San Juan Capistrano, Landmark, Chapel, Museum and Gardens
Founded in November 1776 by the Spanish, this is California's 7th mission. View the old Spanish ruins and barracks, enjoy the botanical gardens of native plants and learn about the indigenous history of the land. It's one of our favorite places!
It's whale watching season!
Our wedding is being held at peak whale migration season. Catch a boat out of Dana Point harbor with a near-guarantee to see whales, or at the very least pods of happy dolphins! https://danawharf.com/whale-watching/ https://www.dolphinsafari.com/
