Dana Point Beach Highlights

By Travel Expert: Ludmilla Alexander

  • Follow Dana Point Harbor to Doheny State Park, a 62-acre site for campers, picnickers, swimmers, surfers, and cyclists.
  • Run a 5K, browse local arts and crafts, or go on a whale-watching cruise during February's Festival of the Whales.
  • Try sportfishing aboard a vessel equipped with everything you need: bait, tackle, rod, reels—even someone to clean the fish.
