Dana Point Beach Vacation Hotels at Southern California's Orange County Beaches



Dana Point harbor lookout
Dana Point is a south Orange County beach featuring sandy coves, elegant resorts, tidepooling, scuba and surfing. Several favorite beaches in Dana Point include Salt Creek Beach with the oppulent Ritz-Carlton, Dana Point perched on the hilltop above. Dana Point beaches offer your best opportunity for whale watching boat excursions leaving Dana Point Harbor.

Dana Point, named by a fur trader over 100 years ago, Richard Dana, was considered by him to be the most romantic place in all of California. That's quite a proclamation, considering there are over 1,000 miles and 450 officially named beaches in California!

You need only stand at the hilltop monument to Dana and gaze out to the harbor below to appreciate what Dana saw and fell in love with as a rugged sailor and traveler. A monument to Dana that sits near a picnic area overlooking the harbor portrays him as a muscular, handsome man. The touch that has to make you laugh, however, is the wire mesh that comes out of his bronzed head, designed to keep the birds from sitting on the monument.
