Howard and I grew up in Southern California and are "beach kids". We are an active family, and this oceanfront resort provides for all of our outdoor activities. It's also close to shopping, restaurants, grocery stores, farmer's markets, urgent care, golf, tennis, luaus, and entertainment. When the whales are in season, we can spot them a couple hundred yards directly off of our beach. The sunsets and rainbows are spectacular, and we can't imagine another place on earth more beautiful.
