Definitely a good spot
So many things to do at Dana point harbor. Paddle board for $25, kayaking, whale watching, the ocean institute, , the stairs behind the institute. The Pier for fishing, the jedy as well. Just a beautiful place.

Smooth Waters
A perfect place for paddle boarding, kayaking, shopping, or simply getting a nice bite to eat. Free parking is also a plus!

Fun Walk Around a Harbor
We spent several hours walking thru the harbor & admiring the boats. Large seals live in one area & we were treated to their audible calls to one another. We were impressed how clean the area is kept.
