 There are many wonderful boating destinations among the Californian
coastline. We’ve compiled some of our favorites for your boating
pleasure. The Two Harbors area is rich in history. It was first inhabited by Native American Indians who lived by the sea and traded with mainland Indians. Spanish explorers, fur traders and even pirates and smugglers visited Two Harbors throughout the years. During the Civil War, a unit of the Union Army was stationed here. Their barracks building still stands in testament to their brief stay. Many Hollywood movie studios used the Two Harbors area as a “ South Seas” back drop to film classics, one being “ Mutiny on The Bounty”. There are a host of activities to do at Two Harbors, from snorkeling in the crystal clear water, to kayaking the many coves and bays, bicycling across the island on their extensive network of dirt roads, hiking the diverse terrain to secluded campsites, not to mention some world class fishing for a wide range of species.And of course, just relaxing by the water is one of our favorite pastimes there.
As many of you may know, this is where we hold our annual rendezvous events every summer. If you haven't been to one, ask someone who has and you will make sure not to miss the next one. All 2007 rendezvous are tentatively scheduled for the month of August. Also, we cannot say enough good stuff about the catering/dining
folks at Two Harbors. A great place for weddings or any other special
event.
