Where is Dana Point, CA?
Dana Point is a coastal city in southern Orange County, California, located between Laguna Beach and San Clemente. It’s known for its harbor, which is a popular spot for boating, whale watching, and launching to Catalina Island. The city is also home to Doheny State Beach, a historic surf spot and campground. Dana Point was named after author Richard Henry Dana Jr., who described the area in his 1840s book Two Years Before the Mast.
