Whale and Dolphine Watching
Dana Point is known as the “Whale Capital of the West” because several types of whales use the point as a navigational landmark on their migrations north or south. Dana Point Harbor whale watching boats provide amazing experiences with these majestic animals off the Dana Point coast.
Salt Creek Beach
You are a short walk to Salt Creek through the surrounding million dollar homes and the Top rated Monarch Beach Golf Links.
Salt Creek Beach Park is a popular surfing location. A small, offshore reef creates some of the best left swells along the entire coastline. Swimming, body surfing, sunbathing and tidepool exploration (all tidepool inhabitants are protected) are other beach activities. A beach concession building, open in the spring and summer, offers quick food and beach supplies. (*http://ocparks.com/beaches/salt/)
