Whale Watching
Want to see more sea life? Motorboats are not
allowed in Laguna Beach's waters, but just a
short drive north up the coastline to Davey's
Locker Newport Landing Whale Watching,
or south to Captain Dave's Dolphin & Whale
Safari or Dana Wharf Sportfishing & Whale
Watching, enables you to hop aboard to view
dolphins and whales up close throughout the
year. (daveyslocker.com) (dolphinsafari.com)

The company was founded by Quinn
Christman, who has also led clients on
countless culinary immersion trips around
the world and developed award-winning
public relations programs with celebrity and
Michelin-starred chefs like David Myers,
Chris Cosentino and Sang Yoon.
Christman says the Laguna tours highlight
hidden gems that even locals may not know
about, such as where to find authentic

poutine, a pizza delivery service on the
beach, the Laguna Beach Lawn Bowling
Club in Heisler Park and Dawson Cole Fine
Art gallery's sculpture courtyard. Some stops
along the way include demonstrations, such
as waffle cone making at Gelato Paradiso.
In addition to the Best Bites of Laguna,
there's also Laguna: Sights, Art and Lunch,
and Legendary Libations: A Historical Bars &
Taverns Walking Tour. (feastlaguna.com)

Into the Garden
Established in 1959, the 2.5-acre Hortense
Miller Garden on the upper slopes of Boat
Canyon demonstrates the range of plants
that can be grown in Southern California
coastal zones. The vertical, pesticide-free
garden was built by its namesake, Hortense
Miller, an environmentalist and author who
created one of the best private gardens in the
country and whose knowledge of plants was
sought by leading horticulturists. The garden
and mid-century modern home is open for
tours Tuesday through Saturday from 9:45
a.m. to noon by reservation only.
