This hike will feature the "50th Annual Dana Point Harbor BOAT PARADE OF LIGHTS" on our usual weekly walk around the harbor. Our view point for the parade will be at an overlook near the harbor entrance where we will linger to watch the boats. As an added bonus, the return route will take us past the extensive outdoor lighting features surrounding the harbor.

You will find more details on the boat parade here:

ABOUT THE WALK: Join your Meetup hiking friends for a relaxed Friday evening walk around the beautiful Dana Point pleasure craft harbor. This is a slow paced, BEGINNER, 3 plus mile round trip, 90 minute hike on mostly flat sidewalks that over look the scenic Dana Point Harbor and Pacific Ocean. The hike begins at the wharf between Baby Beach and the Tall Ship. Our route is very popular with local residents and their four legged friends; the walk is dog friendly. Dress warmly.

DRIVING DIRECTIONS: From Pacific Coast Highway in Dana Point, turn on to Golden Lantern....turn right on Dana Point Harbor Drive.... past Baby Beach at the Harbor turning basin.... turn right or left into parking lots.... look for the group next to the wharf between Baby Beach and the Ocean Institute. See map for details.
