In preparation for construction, we bid farewell to the stunning Jeffro Uitto original driftwood whale sculpture earlier this afternoon. The whale is making a short voyage back to its first Southern California home at Doheny State Beach where it originally debuted during Ohana 2019.

DPHP was honored to host this work of art at the Wharf for the past 2 years where it continued to capture the hearts of visitors and locals alike. Stay tuned for more details on the upcoming debut at Doheny's visitor center.
