Make friends in Dana Point
Opening first across Orange County, including Dana Point.
In harbor town Dana Point, the day often starts on the water and ends watching the sun drop past the headlands. It is beautiful and relaxed, and also a place where many people moved for the view and found the social life thinner than expected. A paddling partner or someone for the sunset walk makes the place feel like home.
Where to start in Dana Point
- Dana Point Harbor. The harbor is the town's living room, with boat launches, paddleboard rentals and long walkways that make a relaxed meetup spot.
- Doheny State Beach. Gentle waves at Doheny suit beginner surfers and longboarders, and the grassy picnic areas fit a group barbecue.
- Salt Creek Beach. A longer walk down to the sand rewards you with a reef break and tide pools, a good plan for someone who likes a little effort with their beach day.
- Ocean Institute. The marine education center at the harbor runs public programs, a natural fit for anyone curious about the ocean.
- Dana Point Headlands. A conservation area on the bluffs has short trails with wide ocean views, ideal for an unhurried first walk.
