Best Gifts for Dads Who Love the Outdoors
Electric Bike from Pedego

Whether he’s zipping through Corona del Mar or coasting along the boardwalk to the Balboa Pier, this high-powered upgrade turns any errand or outing into a joy ride. Swing by one of Pedego’s locations at Fashion Island or in Corona del Mar to pick out the perfect model, then map out a Father’s Day ride with ocean views (and maybe a taco stop along the way).
Round of Golf at Pelican Hill Golf Club
If Dad’s idea of a perfect day involves a crisp polo, sunshine, and the satisfying sound of a well-hit drive, treat him to a round at the stunning Pelican Hill Golf Club. This world-class course offers 36 championship holes, ocean views that just won’t quit, and the kind of scenic setting that turns a casual game into a full-on experience. Whether he’s a seasoned golfer or just loves a day on the green, a tee time here is the ultimate Father’s Day gift.
Whale-Watching Adventure
For the dad who loves nature (or just wants an excuse to spend a few hours on the water), a whale-watching tour in Newport Beach makes for the perfect Father’s Day gift idea. While blue whale season peaks between May and November, dolphins, sea lions, and other marine life can be spotted year-round. Book a trip with local favorites like Newport Landing, Davey’s Locker, or Newport Coastal Adventure—all of which offer daily tours led by expert guides. It’s the perfect way to treat Dad to some fresh ocean air and a front-row seat to SoCal’s marine magic.
