Pelican Cove Park

          Since moving to Southern California, we have been trying to explore the surrounding areas and find all of the fun things to do.  I think there is literally so much to do that I could live here the rest of my life and never get bored.  Yesterday we went to Pelican Cove Park, which is about a half hour from my apartment.  It’s just a little ocean front park with hiking trails and a rocky shoreline.  There are some tide pools with lots of marine life and a sea cave (which we never found).  We saw pelicans and seagulls, crabs, hermit crabs, and some other little creatures.  There is also a lighthouse.  It’s supposed to be one of the best places to see whales and dolphins in California.  We didn’t get to see any but I really want to go back.  It was cloudy so we want to return when it’s sunny.  The hike down to the beach was pretty strenuous because it’s a steep hill and there is no path on the beach, just boulders.  I wouldn’t recommend it if don’t like strenuous hikes but if you do, it’s a really fun place to go.
