In today's segment of Treasures of the west, I took you on a tour to visit three locations for you to explore this summer. We first visited the Long Beach Aquarium, and took an ocean harbor cruise to see one of the largest Mammals on earth, the Blue Whale. Just off the coast of Long Beach, these magnificent whales migrate every summer, and can be spotted on a daily basis by taking a harbor cruise.An educational experience for the whole family!

We
then drove down the coast to the town of Newport Coast, to visit a secret treasure by the sea. Crystal Cove is a hidden gem, slightly tucked away in a small cove, you'll find 22 rustic beach cottages to stay in for a special vacation getaway. They're all unique in their own way, and can be rented in advance on the first of every month.This is truly one of our Treasures Of The West.

evening of live entertainment all summer long.
