West coast marinas?
 
My family and I will be staying on a boat along the west coast, my question is, where to moor? (hook-up) We will be going to Disney World for a couple of days. What are the better beaches for say the central coast.
We will be there in Dec.
thanks

The marinas at Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, and Dana Point are all within reach of Central OC. You should check with each to find out how to reserve a space. Depends on how big the boat is, too.

When you say moor, I'm assuming you mean tie up to a mooring and not at a marina?

The only safe mooring I can think of off the top of my head close to Disney would be in the Titusville/Merritt Island/Cape Canaveral/Melburne area. I would contact the Space Coast Office of Tourism (www.Space-Coast.com) for information.

If you are talking about docking, there are tons of marinas in the area.

For December, I highly suggest docking instead of mooring. The weather could be very chilly and I'd want heat.

and yes we will be mooring, our boat is just like an rv, complete with washer/dryer.
Any more info. would be great.
