A low-profile seaside memorial honoring surfboard pioneer Hobie Alter on Dana Point Harbor—great for capturing surf culture, harbor boats, and dramatic coastal light. Shoot golden hour sunsets over the marina, sunrise for soft light and fewer people. Easy public access with nearby harbor parking, flat walkways and wheelchair-friendly viewpoints; no entry fee. Weekends can be busy with visitors and boat traffic; windier afternoons mean choppy water and movement.
