One of the last things I want to share about Terranea Resort & Spa is the amazing activities you will find here. I was surprised to see the resort totally sold out over Labor Day, but once I wandered around and realized all the things to do, I understood why so many families had chosen to visit for their long weekend.

First off, the pools:
The family pool is like a dream for kids. It’s safe, big, had ocean views and a slide – what more can a little one ask for? The children seemed to be having the time of their lives at the family pool, so I steered clear and went right to the adult Cielo pool, a modern lap pool right down by the ocean, where chic lounge furniture and cool music created a great pool scene. The Cielo bar and cafe offers great drinks and food to enjoy in this adults-only atmosphere.

But if you are more of an ocean person, head a little farther down to the seaside and you’ll find a lovely littel beach, which is a havorite spot for local scuba divers and snorkelers. Sun yourself on the beach loungers or hop right in the water and splash around in the cool Pacific.

One of my favorite activities is the 9-hole golf course, The Links at Terranea. This par-3 walking course is surprisingly challenging, yet easy enough that get some great short game practice in and get to walk away feeling accomplished, not frustrated. I had never walked a course before (I know, I know, I’m lazy and from Scottsdale, where walking is unheard of), but really enjoyed it, especially since there is an ocean view from just about every hole. It’s a very relaxing way to spend the morning or afternoon.

I also noticed a lot of families practicing and taking private lessons on the courses practice facilities, which were in top shape. And I did take a good long look in the small pro shop too and ended up buying a couple of items as souvenirs from my trip.

Over all, there is no shortage of activities at Terranea and it’s truly an ideal spot for a family vacation or a romantic weekend trip for two.
