Beautiful area ! You have a better temperature than here in Canada (Montreal), tomorrow it is supposed to fall 4 inches of snow... Enjoy the beautiful weather at Doheny Beach!
Right above that beach there’s a park with an epic view. Doris Walker Overlook. There’s also a street nearby with luxury apartments and vacation rentals that is ideal for stealth camping overnight. But don’t tell anyone.
Thanks for the video. I continue to use it to learn for our own tour. Unfortunately, due to the war in Ukraine, we are unable to do this at the moment.
In the mid to late 90s, I took my lunch break in that parking lot about three times a week. At that time, there was an actual large beach there, with an extra row of parking spots closer to the water from where you are parked. There were fire rings and palm trees, and a restroom building. Everybody wanted to live in the stretch of houses to the south of the parking lot along Beach Road. That is all gone now. The houses are being washed into the sea. The railroad tracks that have been there since the late 1890s will be next to go. It hurts my heart to see it all destroyed. If you want to see how it looked before, check out the address on Historic Aerials. On a happier note, if you drive up the road directly behind that parking lot, Palisades Drive, to the end and turn right, you will come upon Pines Park which is a lovely place to sit and watch the ocean. If you haven't yet, you can also park for free at the harbor and walk all around. There are good places to eat (think breakfast at Proud Mary's) and you can find Great Blue Herons nesting in trees near the Orange County Harbor Patrol. Your lunch/dinner looked delicious.
Hey. My boyfriend and I just recently moved into our van. Can you please help us out with how to get to these free parking spots? I work, but i dont get paid until next week. I would gladly reimburse you for your help and im already going to subscribe and like. Love what youre doin man.
Hi there. I use Google Maps to find places like this. I often share the locations here on my videos and vlogs. Wherever you are at, simply look closely at Google Maps and you’ll find spots like this one.
