Helping the Homeless...<br />
Over the Holidays we are reminded of how fortunate we<br />
are to live in the United States and are thankful for freedoms,<br />
family, health, jobs, homes and being able to celebrate the<br />
Holiday with family and friends.<br />
A growing problem not only in <strong>Sunset</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> but across our<br />
nation is the plight of those who are less fortunate than us<br />
and are homeless, hungry, lacking shelter and basic neccessities<br />
for the Holidays and <strong>Winter</strong> ahead.<br />
<strong>Sunset</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> publisher “JB” Griffin on<br />
Thanksgiving Day met a Homeless man living in his car in<br />
<strong>Sunset</strong> <strong>Beach</strong>. We have set up a GoFund me page to help<br />
Ralph Johnson have shelter for the Holidays. Our Goal is to<br />
raise $1000.00 for Ralph. You can donate today by visiting<br />
the GoFund me link shown below. For more information call<br />

can do to avoid ever seeing a<br />
shark is to simply pay attention to<br />
any and all safety information at<br />
the beach. Heed any posted signs<br />
and listen to the instructions of<br />
authority figures like lifeguards,<br />
beach patrol personnel, and park<br />

If you are new to <strong>Sunset</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> welcome! I hope you enjoy your time hanging in <strong>Sunset</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> visiting some of<br />
the local businesses and seeing the spectacular homes such as The Castle shown above or maybe catching some<br />
waves, paddleboarding, dog walking, jogging, biking, kayaking, and dining at some of our outstandings Restaurants<br />
& Bars along PCH. Looking for breakfast try Harry’s Grill, Harbour House Cafe (Open 24 Hours), Woody’s,<br />
Pelican Isle and Starbucks. Looking for Fresh Fish try World Famous Captain Jacks, Fish Camp, King Neptunes..<br />
Hawaiian Tiki theme mood check out Don the <strong>Beach</strong>comber ...Pizza/Italian .. <strong>Sunset</strong> Pizza Pasta, Roman Cucina &<br />
That’s Armore... Oh yeah almost forgot looking for a Wine Bar and Best Pastrami in the World, Visit Brix ... Sorry If<br />
I missed mentioning any place you can always call me Sandy <strong>Sunset</strong> for suggestions @ 562.810.8881 ... Ok leave<br />
you with our featured<br />
<strong>Beach</strong> Hut Joke.... Why did the Lifeguard not rescue the Hippie .... He was too far out ........<br />
Castle Creek<br />
If you are looking for an affordable afternoon<br />
of Golf try Castle Creek advertised as North San<br />
Diego’s finest golf experience. Played Castle Creek<br />
recently and although the greens are a bit beat up,<br />
the course is a great test and a bargain to boot.<br />
72 Par course redesigned by Perry Dye visit their<br />
website or call 760-749-2422 to book a tee time.<br />
Trump National Rancho Palos Verdes<br />
One of the most beautiful golf courses in all of Southern<br />
California. Ocean Views are off the charts. Although the<br />
Green Fees are very pricey this is one golf experience<br />
worth the price of admission. The Golf course is by far<br />
one of the most difficult courses anywhere in this golfers<br />
opinion. Recommend play from the Whites or Blues and if<br />
you break 100 you will have played pretty well. Visit their<br />
website or call 310-265-5000 to book a tee time.<br />

About <strong>Sunset</strong> <strong>Beach</strong><br />
<strong>Sunset</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> is a beachfront community located in Orange County, California. In 2011, it was annexed by Huntington<br />
<strong>Beach</strong>. <strong>Sunset</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> features one of the widest beaches in southern California. Running parallel to the beach, from<br />
the north of town to the southern edge is the Green Belt, a bucolic 14 acre park on which residents walk their dogs.<br />
Southeast of <strong>Sunset</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> is Bolsa Chica State <strong>Beach</strong>. To the east is the bayfront community of Huntington Harbour<br />
(part of Huntington <strong>Beach</strong>), and roughly north is the Naval Weapons Station Seal <strong>Beach</strong>, and the Seal <strong>Beach</strong> National<br />
Wildlife Refuge. The small gated community of Surfside located between <strong>Sunset</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> and the Weapons Station is<br />
part of Seal <strong>Beach</strong>, with the rest of Seal <strong>Beach</strong> on the other side of the Weapons Station.<br />
<strong>Sunset</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> does not have residential mail delivery. Instead, residents pick up their mail at post office boxes in the<br />
centrally-located post office or at private post office boxes located on 22nd Street. <strong>Sunset</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> is served by the <strong>Sunset</strong><br />
<strong>Beach</strong> Sanitary District. The SBBA / <strong>Sunset</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> Business Association was founded by Art Snyder Owner of Don<br />
the <strong>Beach</strong>comber and local Real Estate Broker “JB” James B. Griffin.<br />
