"I decided to try stand up paddle board for the first time and I am so glad I found Nancy through tripadvisor! It was like I was boarding with an old friend, she was so friendly and knowledgable. We went to Dana Point Harbor, she explained how to paddle and stand up, and off we went! We didn't even..." get wet! I am so thankful Nancy took her iphone and took pictures of us, which she forwarded to us right away. The best part was that when we were over by the mouth of the harbor we saw a pod of dolphins playing around. We paddled over and they swam around and under our boards and were just as curious about us as we were about them. What an amazing experience. I really hope I'll make it to Laguna Beach again next year, and if I do I will definitely call Nancy again and this time we'll go out in the ocean!

"This is a nice place to spend an afternoon when it is not to hot. Plenty of free parking, public bathrooms, and several resturants in the area. The resturants looked busy so probably recommend coming early. There is some green space for a picnic. You can watch sailboats, kayaks, and paddle board..."s go in and out of the harbor. At one end of the harbor is The Ocean Institute (did not visit) and a old school vessel. It looked pretty cool. If you follow the road up the hill just before the Ocean Institute and go up the hill, their are some awsome views of the harbor area from above. It is worth a little detour. There is also a little nature walk along the cliffs (did not try) that looked intersting.
