This place starts with its name a great  name for a location and this caught our attension when we were their eating dinner and drinking our martini's. The Historic Point Happy in La Quinta.

 

Please meet Point Happy.

What a great name for a desert location. It also has some of the greatest restaurnats and even shopping.

 

 

Location and Directions: 

Located at the North West corner of one of the valley's busiest intersections.

 

The Plaza at Point Happy is on Highway 111 our valley's main highway through the entire valley and Washington Street which is a major street coming from the Interstate 10 Freeway and past the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.

The Plaza at Point Happy

 

 

Point Happy has a gas station with a conveniance store true a Del Taco, a Bank of America true, a Las Casuelas true, a Falls Prime Steak House true and a professional business office complex with a salon and Cold Stone Ice Cream store, a specialty coffee house true as well however that is not what Logic is here to share.

 

This is a great place to eat shop get gas a coffee evn some smokes at the Circle K but if you look at the mountain behind the picture above this little hill has been there along side Highway 111 all by itself because it is seperated by Highway 111.

 

There is a restaurant business right on the other side of the little hill seperated from all by a river that goes under Highway 111 and wraps around this little hill.

 

We wrote about this restaurant a long ttime pre everything else that has come around it over the years in our Where to Eat in the Desert section on this forum.

 

Please meet the Cliffhouse Restaurant

The structure sits along side the Historic Point Happy mountain slightly elivated and features its own private large parking lot with the only access to this restaurant from Highway 111.

 

Ok come on over the the Where to eat in the Desert and see our restaurant Review of the Cliffhouse in La Quinta.

What are you thinking locals this is the finest location in the Coachella Valley to hangout drink, eat and totally have a great time by yourself, with friends and famly or coworkers looking to meet other business operators or owners in the Coachella Valley.

 

Point Happy is in fact happy even the neighboring Cliffhouse Restaurant is located right here as well.

 

All located right at Highway 111 and Washington Street this location is close enough from Thermal (about 15 minutes drive) for Logic and Catnip to hangout here once in the while.

 

Logic and Catnip will enjoy Point Happy starting in 2011 or 2012 when we (through hard work and effort) relocate to the best part of the Coachella Valley.

Did you know that Point Happy is located right off the back side of the Indian Wells Tennis Garden you know you might have seen this giant outdoor stadium on the north or left side of the Highway 111 when you are driving down valley east towards the date gardens or the Salton Sea. 

 

You can actually see the Indian Wells Tennis Garden from the parking area of Point Happy.

 

Everything in Indian Wells and La Quinta is so new and fun that Logic has found a whole new love for the finer things that the east end of the valley represents.

 

Whenever you come into the Palm Springs, Thermal or Bermuda Dunes Airports.

 

Take a scenic drive the entire length of the number one street in the Coachella Valley Highway 111.

 

Highway 111 is like our desert version of Pacific Coast Highway that runs along the entire coastline of the state of California.

 

Highway 111 or its official name is California State Route 111 also known as Palm Canyon Drive in the Palm Springs area allows you to drive from Interstate 10 Freeway outside of Palm Springs or the west end of the Coachella Valley and if you stay on it heading east you will end up in the city of Coachella at State Route 86 we call Highway 86. 

 

Along your drive you will leave one desert that covers most of the desert cities like Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta the Sonoran Desert and you will enter the Colorado Desert that covers Indio, Coachella, Mecca and Thermal.
