About Dana Point
Dana Point is a harbour town on Orange County's coast in Southern California, set on headlands above the Pacific, with surf beaches and whale watching.
Dana Point takes its name from Richard Henry Dana, whose 1840 memoir Two Years Before the Mast described the headlands here. The harbour holds a marina of sailboats and fishing boats, and a waterfront of seafood restaurants and shops looks out over it. A replica of the brig Pilgrim, the ship Dana sailed on, is moored in the harbour.
