About Dana Point

Anchored by a dramatic headland and historic harbor, Dana Point encompasses top coastal destinations including Doheny State Beach, Salt Creek Beach, Capistrano Beach, and Dana Point Harbor. Salt Creek offers high-quality point and beach breaks for surfers, while Doheny provides gentle, longboard-friendly waves inside a protected bay. The rocky tide benches below the Dana Point Headlands Marine Reserve feature rich tide pools accessible at low water. Tracking tide predictions is essential for timing clean surf at Salt Creek, safely exploring the exposed marine gardens beneath the headlands, and navigating boat traffic out of Dana Point Harbor.
