Dana Point, Coastal city in Orange County, US
Dana Point stretches along seven miles of coastal bluffs and rolling hills, providing direct access to the Pacific Ocean through its developed harbor system.
The area served as a trading port in the 1830s, where ships collected animal hides from Mission San Juan Capistrano for transportation to Boston.
The Festival of Whales occurs each March, drawing thousands of visitors to observe gray whales during their annual migration along the California coast.
The Dana Point Harbor contains two marinas with capacity for 2,500 boats, multiple restaurants, shops, and water sport rental facilities.
The Orange County Marine Institute houses the Tallship Pilgrim, a full-size replica vessel that offers educational programs about maritime history.
