Don't think you need to drive long distances to have a grand time. Dana Point is bursting with attractions for all ages and interests. Play in the sand and rent surfboards for a day spent at Salt Creek Beach, take the kayaks and paddleboards out for a spin, or head to Baby Beach - a great place to launch that even offers a roped-off area for younger kids to swim.
One of the few harbors along the Orange County coast, Dana Point Harbor is a beautiful place to spend the day fishing, renting boats and jet skis, shopping local boutiques, and relishing in delicious food. Whether you're looking for a fresh catch meal at Wind and Sea Restaurant or Italian food at Slice of New York, each group member will likely find something tasty to keep their belly full. Many adventures are available here, but one of them could (and should) include a ride on the harbor's Catalina Express line over to gorgeous Catalina Island for shopping, dining, scuba diving, and more.
Book a morning tee time at the extravagant, 18-hole St. Regis Monarch Beach Golf Links before grabbing the rest of the bunch for a visit to the Ocean Institute to see the historical Pilgrim ship, now used as a classroom, and let the kids enjoy hands-on experiences with the local tide pools.
With sunny skies and a warm ocean breeze, you'll find yourself spending almost all your time outdoors.
