If you’re looking to get out of the house this weekend - and let’s hope this weather warms up a bit - head to the coast to check out a guided tour of the historic district at Crystal Cove State Park.

The tour happens every second Saturday of the month, and kicks off at 10 a.m. For those of you not familiar with the area, there’s about 46 funky cottages on the sand dating back to the 30s, with 14 of them renovated for public overnight stay. There’s a ton of history - everywhere from Hollywood’s influence, to the laid-back mentality of the former residents. There will also be a plein air painter showing  a demonstration.

To read more about the area, click here. If you’re up early enough, check out my KDOC segment coming on between 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. Friday morning (with Surf Junkie Jeff giving a head’s up on the weekend’s surf conditions). I went down to Crystal Cove this morning to do the segment, and got to chat with some of the lucky people staying there to give viewers a bit of a taste of what it’s like down there.

But if you want to see for yourself, show up at 10 a.m. Saturday, park at the Los Trancos (cost is $10 to park), and enjoy! And if you go to Beachcomber’s Cafe, check out the ahi tacos - BOMB!
