Nine days, free on the sand, the town full. Next year’s dates when WSL posts them.
Steins, bands, wiener-dog races on the weekends they schedule them. Wed–Sun evenings once it is rolling. Not a stealth dog event — the dachshunds are the show.
Three days of jets over the water. Book a room now if cousins are coming. PCH will be a parking lot. Bike, walk, or suffer.
