2. Visit dog beach with a pet, and watch the critters frolic in the surf & sand.

BLESSING OF THE WAVES
Photo taken by Chris MacDonald, a 27-year resident of Huntington Beach, shows the "Blessing of the Waves" event. An Interfaith Council event brought together priests, religious leaders and surfers to celebrate the ocean.
A ceremony lasting approx. half an hour included speeches, the blessing, and a nod to the Pacific Ocean's turbulent waters that kept novice surfers on shore simply watching in reverence.
