Dana Point Beach Travel Tips

By 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.

  • Can you roccomend a campground in Southern Calif Would like a recommendation for a good camping site in Southern Calif. would love to stay at Doheny State Park but all spots are taken June, July & August. We have never camped in Southern Calif. and would like to. What other places can you recommend that would be similar to Doheny. We like a little bit of privacy which Doheny seems to have. We like to ride bilkes so a path near by would be great. We camp in a tent trailer.
