At That SoCal Gal, I’m passionate about sharing the soul of SoCal with a special love for San Juan Capistrano’s historic charm—think strolling through the Mission’s lush gardens or savoring tacos at a local gem—and Dana Point’s coastal magic, from the serene sands of Dana Strand Beach to the thrill of whale-watching in its harbor.

Just wanted to drop you a long overdue message letting you know how much I enjoy your magazine. The positivity of your writing & the biographical info on some of our locals is truly gratifying to read, especially with so much negativity in our world today. Thank you for your efforts. Regards,
