The Ocean Institute at Dana Point Harbor has boat rides for whale watching, evening cruises and ocean sails. The museum is open weekends and has educational exhibits. I recommend this place because it is a fun way to experience sea life.

Catalina is an island 22 miles off the California coast. There is Avalon where visitors go to the beach, shop, hike, snorkel or ride bikes. It's a fun day trip or stay longer. Make sure to book you accommodations early.

The best sushi on town, a local favorite. Gen Kai has been around for years when other sushi restaurants have come and gone. There is a reason they have stayed!
