It seems like only a few weeks ago when the regal tall ships, those vessels full of vintage atmosphere, sailed into the Dana Point area.
Oh wait: It was just a few weeks ago, in early September, a snapshot-worthy celebration that gave landlubbers the chance to wear their pirate-inspired togs or lucky mermaid tail for a host of whimsical events.
But the whimsy continues, as it so often does around the picturesque area, thanks to an evening event surfacing at the Ocean Institute.

The sea-riously sweet celebration's name weaves nicely with some of the myth-oriented events of the tall ship-focused festivities, but Spooky Seas is most definitely about the Halloween season.
Oh yes, and sea-strong education, too. The Ocean Institute party, which will add a salty dash of not-too-scary splendor to Saturday night, Oct. 21, is a way for the nature-championing destination "... to blend fun and education seamlessly, fostering a deeper connection with marine science and our precious oceans."
Look for Harbor Hay Rides, a Haunted Spirit Tour, and Bioluminescence Lazer Tag, as well as other seasonal ways to savor the "immersive experience."
