Matthew & April
Things To Do
Capt. Dave's Dolphin & Whale Watching
Those who want to experience the nature side of California can't forget the ocean. Taking a relaxing ride and hopefully you will have a chance to see a dolphin, Orca or even a humpback. Just remember it's only supposed to be a three hour tour (sung to the theme of "Gilligan's Island")!
Crystal Cove State Beach
Need an amazing morning jog or hike? Check out one of the many trails in the area. Whether you visit "Top of the World" or "Laguna Coast Wilderness Park" in Laguna Beach or 'Black Star Canyon" in Tustin there are so many options for you. Crystal Cove presents a mildly challenging hike and beautiful views right on the ocean where you can even see Catalina on most days!
Disneyland Park
Of course, how could we not mention this place! We haven't been, but friends have said that the new Star Wars' "Galaxy Edge" area is amazing.
Huntington Beach Pier
Whether you walk the downtown area looking for good Mexican food or you make your way along the beach path or up the pier to see the fishermen and the surfers. This is a relaxing place to enjoy especially at sunset!
Laguna Beach
A favorite of both of us, Laguna Beach not only has a wonderful beach but an amazing artistic community. Stroll by the lifeguard tower and see where I proposed to April. Stop in one of the many galleries, boutiques or shops, but also don't forget to grab a nice dinner or, even, a gelato to finish off the evening!
Los Rios Historic District
Now, granted you will get to see much of this during the wedding as the venue is centralized to this location, but keep in mind that being able to enjoy at your own pace. From it's coffee and tea houses to it's quaint shops. A fun location to spend an afternoon browsing.
Mission San Juan Capistrano
Mission San Juan Capistrano has been home to many people over its 240 years of history. Its history consists of memories and stories of its past inhabitants and present visitors. It is a place of historical, cultural, and religious significance, as well as a place of inspiration and education. Take a tour of this historical location!
San Juan Hills Golf Club
Nestled in the rolling hills of San Juan Capistrano, San Juan Hills Golf Club is a Par 71 Championship golf course. Recent improvements in our grounds have resulted in a course that offers the best greens and fairways in south Orange County. Open to the public, you’ll find a game here every day of the week.
