DESTINATIONS AND SITE-SEEING

a 20 minute drive from any Hotel.
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."
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 seaview 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.
In
1969, an event occurred which accelerated the growth and reputation
of San Clemente . In that year former President Nixon purchased
a Spanish mansion in the southern part of town that Hamilton
Cotton had built in 1927.
This
"Western White House" became the site of numerous
historical meetings. Despite rapid subsequent growth, the
City today maintains its small-town atmosphere.
San
Clemente boasts "the world's finest climate", with
sunshine 342 days per year. The annual average temperature
is 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Old
Towne Orange
Old
Towne Orange dates from 1871 and contains the largest number
of Historic Places.
Old
Towne Orange, established in 1886 as the hub for shopping
and socializing in the city of Orange , is still a mecca for
shoppers and diners 100 years later. Antique stores and restaurants
line the streets that meet at the town's center, the traffic
circle.
