Today I’m bringing you a two-part outing idea that is perfect for a Romantic Date or a Moms Night Out! Part 1: Start out with a short walk on the Dana Point Bluff Top Trail. This is a short .2 mile walk - you’ll spend most of your time enjoying the views! We prefer to park on Street of the Amber Lantern, the trail starts where this street ends. You can also access on Street of the Violet Lantern. Please note - there are a lot of stairs! This is not a stroller friendly trail. Part 2: Truly Pizza is a 5 minute walk from the trail, and has a stunning ambiance. The patio is covered in a lemon trellis and is warm and cozy even on a cool day. They also provide blankets, just in case you want extra warmth. We loved their garlic bread and unique pizzas, which have a micro blister crust that makes the exterior crunchy while the interior stays light, soft, and airy. We finished with their olive oil and sea salt soft serve ice cream, which was so delicious. Thanks to Truly Pizza for hosting us! I now have a new favorite spot to visit every time we are in Dana Point! Hope you can try out this outing sometime soon 🍕🍷

Anyone excited about these free trolleys but has NO IDEA where to go on them? That was me this week. But I did some research and found some kid-friendly spots along the Dana Point South Trolley route. Here are 5 ideas to get you started! 🌊 The Dana Bluff Top Trail, which is just a short walk from south trolley stop 12. This trail is very short (.2 miles) and good for all walkers. There are a lot of stairs, so this is NOT stroller friendly, but my 1 year old walked it just fine. The views here are beautiful and the trail is historic. The trail starts at 34342 Street of the Amber Lantern. It just connects one street to another, so we walked out and back. Hungry? Try the Schwack Beach Grill next to the trolley stop. 🛝Pines Park at South Trolley Stop 19 is so beautiful and green. The playground is fun but my kids were drawn in by all the squirrels and pathways among the hillside shrubs. We have been here twice and I see that is a common theme among all the kids. 🦎Reptiles Retropolis is a 2-3 minute walk from south trolley stop 3. This is a small but fun pet store if your kids want to see some snakes, lizards, and iguanas. This was probably the least exciting excursion of the day, so if you are short on time it may be better to prioritize the other outings. 🐟I did not list the Tide Pool and Aquarium in the reel since it wasn’t open, but this is another great spot and I believe it can be accessed via the South Trolley at Stop 16. 🏝 And last but not least is Doheny State Beach! South Trolley stop 16. 💁🏻‍♀️ Tips for the trolley: Bring snacks for the waiting periods. Download the app (Dana Point Trolley) to see where the trolleys are at. Sit in the front (less wind) of you want to warm up. Sit in the back (more wind) if you want to cool down. 🚎 Have FUN!!!! #ocparentguide #ocparents #ockids #ocfamilies #danapoint #danapointtrolley #orangecounty

Another good place to walk about to enjoy nature and fresh air during this pandemic. The panoramic view of the harbor is just stunning. We actually visited the Bluff hiking trail and had a good time walking around. It was not really a hike but more of a cliff walk for the enjoyment of the public. Although short, the view was breathtaking. We saw a lot of people taking graduation photos there. With the harbor background, it’s a perfect spot for graduation pictures.

We took quite a bit of pictures ourselves. The best spot for picture taking is right in front of the three half circle wall with the harbor as the backdrop.

The trick to get there is to use this address : 34342 street of the Amber Lantern, Dana point and then park on the street. The entrance is a tiny gate...
