Learn more about Dana Point

Catch the perfect wave at Doheny State Beach, where the surf welcomes both wobbly beginners and salty veterans. The harbor offers whale-watching excursions where captains speak of migrating giants with casual familiarity. Tide pools at the Ocean Institute reveal miniature worlds of starfish and anemones that seem designed specifically for children's delight. Dana Point Harbor's shops and restaurants occupy what might be the prettiest marina on the coast. The headland that gave this place its name inspired Richard Henry Dana Jr. to declare it 'the only romantic spot on the coast.' Nearby San Juan Capistrano offers historic adobe buildings when beach fatigue sets in. For a quieter beach experience, spread a towel at Baby Beach where gentle waters lap at the shore.
