China Cove ... Sunset Cocktails … Part 6

Happy Weekend my friends!

I am back this week with my 6th installment in my 

Summer Sunset Cocktail Series

This week I am sharing a sunset in Corona Del Mar's 

China Cove 

and 

it's a picnic!

Having a sunset picnic on the beach is one of my favorite ways 

to truly experience a SoCal sunset.

A bit more work up front with packing a meal and drinks

but always so worth it!

Packing salads in lidded jars is an easy and efficient way
to transport food to the beach!

Healthy Cheesecake
 in jars is an ultimate 

picnic treat!

I did a fabulous  recipe post  for it  HERE 

Cooking for the picnic isn't even mandatory

for one of my favorite picnics

I just packed a bottle of wine, basket and blanket

and

 we stopped at a local deli for sandwiches.

My tin cups worked perfectly for the occasion

because as I mentioned before

most California beaches don't allow alcohol 

but they don't go out enforcing it unless you are ill behaved
 or

overt about your consumption.

China Cove Beach is a little hidden gem in Corona Del Mar
You take stairs down and a little winding walk thorough the waterfront neighborhood

to a small beach which faces out into Newport Harbor.

You can sit and watch the boats come and go 

as the sun dips from the sky.

Writing this post has me thinking

it's definitely time

to pull out my blanket and picnic basket again this weekend!

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life
