Beach to Reef is the travel and lifestyle brand of ocean/water lover and professional optimist, Jessica Hyne-Dolan. When Jessica is not traveling the world, she is at home in San Diego, California exploring the Pacific Ocean waters where Mexico meets Southern California.

Whether that be surfing, kayaking, rowing, or practicing yoga on the shore, she ALWAYS finds herself near the most important resource in the world— water.

After Jessica decided to retire from her career in elite rowing after competing for Team USA, she moved back to San Diego where she decided she wanted one thing: to simply be happy and live each day in the present! Leaving behind her career as a professional rower for a happier life was one of the most profound decisions she had ever made.

Jessica hobbies include surfing, working out, practicing yoga, and dreaming of exotic breaks and countries they wish to visit. 

When Jessica is traveling, she takes nothing but a small backpack, some bikinis, and her passport.
