Dayle Dunn Gallery
Located on the scenic Pacific Coastline, this must-see gallery offers a sophisticated selection of two- and three- dimensional art created by American artisans including sculptures, stone fabrics, metal glass, wood jewelry and ceramics. Housed in a dramatic, expansive space with ocean views, the gallery is also available for private parties, weddings, receptions and meetings.

My recent stay at the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay suggested a highly luxurious form of adult summer camp. The 261-room resort, set spectacularly along a rugged stretch of California's Pacific coast, is full of the expected Ritz- Carlton corporate services ”“ The Wall Street Journal and USA Today delivered to guest rooms each morning, a 24-hour technology butler, impressive conference rooms ”“ but is also very much of a posh playground.
