🇺🇸 Honoring those who have served, sacrificed, and called our nation home.

This Veterans Day, we’re taking a moment to recognize the brave men and women who have served our country and share a special new addition to our community.

Located in Dana Point’s Heritage Park, Returning Home is a newly dedicated bronze monument honoring the courage and sacrifice of our military heroes and the families who stand beside them.

Unveiled on October 28, 2026, this meaningful tribute was brought to life through more than five years of dedication, fundraising, and collaboration between the City of Dana Point and the Dana Point 5th Marine Regiment Support Group. City Of Dana Point DanaPoint5thMarines

More than a monument, Returning Home serves as a lasting reminder of the sacrifices made in service to our country, the families who wait at home, and the joy of being reunited with loved ones. ❤️🤍💙

Today and every day, we extend our deepest gratitude to all who have served. Thank you for your courage, dedication, and sacrifice.

🍳☕ Some restaurants serve great meals. Others make you feel like family. Proud Mary's has always done both. ❤️

Since opening in 1977, Proud Mary's has been a beloved Dana Point Harbor gathering place, serving hearty breakfasts, waterfront lunches, and nearly 50 years of memories around the table. 🌊

Founded by Mary Merrill and purchased by Steve Zdrakas in 2005, Proud Mary's has weathered plenty, including a devastating fire in 2007. Through it all, its welcoming spirit has endured.

But ask us what makes Proud Mary's truly special, and our answer isn't the food or even those beautiful Harbor views. It's Steve. ❤️

Steve is simply one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. He's the type who invites you to lunch not because he has an agenda, but because he genuinely wants to share a meal, catch up, and connect. There's something pretty special about that.

That generosity extends to his team. Steve is a tireless advocate for his employees, often connecting them with other local restaurants when they're looking for additional hours. He's even championed job applicants he couldn't hire himself, helping other businesses discover great people.

That's Steve: a connector, a champion of his team, and someone who knows hospitality is about so much more than what's on the menu. 🤝

Proud Mary's may be a family-owned restaurant, but the sense of family extends far beyond its ownership. It's reflected in the people who work there, the customers who return year after year, and the relationships built across generations.

As Proud Mary's serves its final guests at its longtime Harbor location today, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Steve, his family, and the entire team for decades of kindness, friendship, and community. 💙

Nearly 50 years of meals and memories is an incredible legacy. But perhaps the greatest legacy is how they've made people feel. ⚓❤️

More than souvenirs, a little piece of Dana Point to take home! ⚓️

For years, Art Sea + Gift Chateau has been so much more than a gift shop in Dana Point Harbor. In many ways, it's been an unofficial welcome center, where visitors are greeted with a smile, a friendly conversation, and a little local insight from some of the warmest faces you'll find along the waterfront. 🛍️🌊

Mark and Tyler have a special way of making everyone feel welcome, whether you're a longtime local stopping in to say hello or a first-time visitor discovering everything Dana Point has to offer.

It's easy to think of a souvenir shop as simply a place to pick up a postcard, a magnet, or a coastal keepsake. But what Art Sea + Gift Chateau really offers is something much more meaningful: a way to take a little piece of Dana Point home with you. A reminder of a family vacation, a beautiful day on the water, or a special memory made along our coast.

Those little treasures have a way of keeping the spirit of Dana Point alive long after a visit has ended.

As Art Sea + Gift Chateau prepares to close its current Harbor location, we're sending a heartfelt thank you for the warmth, hospitality, and genuine love they've shown our community and its visitors over the years.

And thankfully, this isn't necessarily goodbye! Mark and his team are looking forward to the possibility of returning to the Harbor once the revitalization is complete, and we certainly hope to see those familiar, friendly faces welcoming visitors back to the waterfront.

Until then, thank you for helping so many people take home not just a souvenir, but a lasting memory of Dana Point. 💙 🐋

🥂 One final toast to a Dana Point Harbor legend! ⚓️💙

Some places are more than just restaurants or bars. They're part of the fabric of a community. And for more than four decades, Turk's Dana Point has been exactly that.

A Harbor fixture since 1984, Turk's was built on the larger-than-life personality of Turk Varteresian — a bodybuilder, surfer, movie star, fisherman, and above all, a man who loved the restaurant and bar business. Following his passing, his daughter Candy carried on the family legacy, preserving the character, hospitality, and unmistakable charm that made Turk's so special.

And boy, did Turk's have character! From its legendary fish and chips and famously spicy Bloody Marys to the familiar faces behind the bar, it was the kind of place where you could always count on a good meal, a cold drink, and a great story.

For our Chamber team, Turk's holds a special place in our hearts. It was where we'd raise a glass before the annual Turkey Trot, gather with City staff for meetings, grab a bite after whale watching, or simply enjoy some of the best fish and chips around. Like so many in our community, we have our own collection of Turk's memories, and we're grateful for every one of them.

As Turk's closes this chapter at its longtime Harbor home, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Candy, the Varteresian family, and the many employees who made Turk's feel like home to generations of locals and visitors.

While the future of Turk's is still being written, its place in Dana Point history is already well established.

So here's to Turk's! 🍻 To 42 years of good food, strong drinks, colorful characters, lifelong friendships, and a whole lot of memories.
