Great place for the family. Walk along the marina, have lunch or ice cream! You can go kayaking, stand up paddle boarding or whale watching! Visit the Ocean Institute, learn about the tall ships docked at the learning center. Or just watch the waves roll over the rocks.
My wife wanted to visit while the holiday lights were still on display. We took the pups for a walk and nice that it wasn't busy. The harbor was festive and beautifully decorated. Last bit of holidays.
Pros:
🌊 Enjoy beautiful coastal scenery and a variety of water activities : boat cruises around the harbor, kayaking, picnicking with the family, whale/dolphin watching, hiking along the many trails around the harbor, and see the tide pools
🌇📸🏄♂️🐋When the sun went down, the harbor is even more inviting and interesting. So many 'Instagram' moments.
🎄 The Christmas season offers dazzling lights and a charming atmosphere.
🐶 Dog-friendly environment; opportunity to interact with friendly people and adorable sea lions.

We absolutely loved the DP Harbor! We sat for a couple of ours un the shade watching the boats, kayaks, stand up boards and everything else. Very relaxing and FREE parking!
Such a relaxing place to take your dog for a walk. Very clean. We enjoyed all the different birds coming around us as well as all the friendly squirrels. There's some nice shops to check out and a few places to eat n have a drink.
Whenever I go to the harbor, I just love the view here. Great for a stroll.
