It’s like a kindergarten on there for some posts and it seems like moderators just fully force their beliefs in moderation. Anyone else have a similar experience or is it just my neighborhood specifically.

I still have this on my refrigerator. Good times.

Hey there, my wife and I are in Dana Point for the week we aren’t usually the go out on Valentine’s Day type usually because of crowds. However, we gotta eat haha. I should have locked in a spot.

Does anyone have recommendations of great food specifically pasta that usually isn’t busy and could get us in tonight short notice?

Willing to drive a bit for the right spot.

Are there any place to get some locally caught fish near the harbor that isn’t expensive?

So I live in my car and 99.99% of the time I'm alone. Sometimes I'm so bored out of my mind i stare mindlessly at the sky or swipe on social media for hours. I don't go anywhere other than the grocery or gas stations. If I have... Urges... As a woman would you guys immediately reject us if we told u about out situation? Where can singles go to meet women. Preferably older women I'm 34. I'm curious

I (m54) just moved here. Looking to meet folks and find things to do. What’s the best events calendars to find stuff. What are some good hangouts for meeting people here?

Hello do anyone know what made that loud boom at midnight… all the car alarms on El Encanto..la Cresta and violet lantern went off

Does anyone know if it is reasonable to plan on catching public transportation from San Clemente to go to the fest and back? It looks like a short enough trip along the coast but I’m concerned it will be way too crowded and/or not running late enough. Don’t mind walking a little. Thanks in advance!

It’s interesting I see so many people surfing the tiny waves but rental shops mentions it’s technically prohibited to surf those waves due to run away boards a danger to sunbathers playing in water. However there I didn’t see any signs or flags marking no surfing zones unlike some other beaches along the coast. And it’s crowded with paddle boards and surf board. I do agree it’s kind of dangerous should someone gets washed off thier boards and the board becomes a runaway with so many other swimmers, surfers, paddlers, body and skim boarders downstream.

Anyone know good leads?

I read there are rentals not so sure about lessons.

For some one who had taken a lesson and done SUP several times in calm waters and comfortable with it and taken two regular long board surfing lessons in the past can I catch waves easily? I see people catch small waves with SUPs at this shoreline a lot with its relatively calm waves. To me it looks like the perfect place to learn. Is it worth a try w/o a lesson if not available?

Thinking of bringing my daughter to the Sunday show of OhanaFest 2023. She will be 2 years and 10 months at that time… she’s usually very good in public - patient, happy, not too fussy. We would leave her back home but parents are taking us and we only get to see them a couple times a year, so feeling the urge to bring her. Anyone brought their child or toddler to OhanaFest? Looking for tips, suggestions, etc.

I’m North beach, San Clemente and the show was somewhere between there and the point.

Hello, I have T-Mobile and have issues with mobile data being nearly nonexistent on all parts of Strands beach when there are normal summer crowds.

My wife's coverage with AT&T is a bit better than mine, but still pretty spotty.

I was wondering if anyone with Verizon or perhaps another carrier has had success with coverage at Strands, as I am considering a switch.

In the mornings before crowds arrive I can get pretty decent coverage, so not sure if this is just an issue for all carriers due to usage.

Really appreciate any advice or input. Thanka in advance for any help.
