Pay entry fee online, clean beach (little litter like a crushed coke can and lots of seaweeds), lots of people playing volleyball on 🏐 courts, many 🏄♂️ 🌊 🏄♀️ hang out mostly near Second Spot, which is just a bit morth of the Main Lifeguard Tower (saw one lifeguard on duty as he picked up the orange traffic cones off of Thor's Hammer (embankment from the San Juan Creek). Very family friendly, recommend jacket cuz of wind from ocean.
On the north portion of Doheny State Beach (DSB), there are many picnic tables, many trashcans, along with a fairly big patch of green grass that we walked around the bike path to avoid stepping on the beautiful lawn. There are horseshoe tosses, too! Many electric bikes roamed past us and onto sandy beach. Only service dogs are allowed, must be on leash, and attended by an adult.
There were RVs in the north parking lot. Little internet research showed that DSB has no electric or water connections, hence a "dry" camping ground. There is a snack bar called Doho Cafe that you can also order your food and drinks online (see photo). You can also rent bikes and work together to get to all parts of the park.
Restroom has open skylight, very clean, has what seems to be shower stalls, but no shower heads (so, dressing room?). There is a shower head outside of the restroom to wash sand off of your feet.
Would visit again during the off-season! Enjoy!
Easy to get to, level sites. The beach is right there, and the campground is not a parking lot! Beautiful views, fabulous sunsets.
Restrooms and showers were clean. Some spots are quite shallow, so be honest about the size of your rig.
The areas around the beach are very nice. The snack shack has a great variety of food but is a little pricey. The rentals are diverse and reasonably priced. There are natural tide pools and beginners surfing waves but I do wish there was less kelp and driftwood on the shore.
Beautiful beach, often see seals and dolphins, once even whales in the distance during migration season. Day parking was $15.
Very nice beach. Went on a day when tide was changing so waves were bigger. Bathrooms were clean and cafe serves reasonably priced food. I would go back there again for sure. The only thing is to pay for parking it’s via app only so keep in mind if you are old school, you have to download an app and navigate it in order to pick the right option to pay wether it’s “day lot” or “hourly lot”.
The park is great. Beach is comfortable. Be careful - this is a state park. There is a $20 fee to park. It is easy to miss this and park without paying. Fines are steep.
My husband and I celebrated our 37th anniversary at Dana Point. Doheny state beach was beautiful. It wasn't crowded and it was very clean. We stayed at the Double tree across the street from the beach. We were able to walk across the street and into the state beach are. The wal took less than 3 minutes.
We came for Ohana Fest and loved being so close to the beach, and easy walk ways. Will definitely come back next year.

Great place for a walk with some areas for viewing the ocean side. The walking trail at this park is a switchback and very relaxing. The grass areas are a slope but can be walked on for some serious decline/incline workout. I saw some people being th
Such a wonderful park and beach!
It seems to be quieter than others in the area and has a nice big (free) parking lot at the entrance. There are washrooms and a rinse off station in the parking lot and a couple of different access points to the beach
I stopped in Dana Point to watch the big waves that Southern California was getting at the end of Dec 2023. I couldnât of asked for a better location to capture photos while playing it safe (chose not to park at the beach but up above at the Gazebo
The coaches at this studio (Alex, Courtney, Emma) are amazing and while itâs still a group class, they still take the time to walk the room and pay attention to make sure everyone is following the correct posture during the workout and doing it cor
Great place for a couple good pints. Three of us visited and tried a blonde, and IPA, a fruited sour and an imperial stout. We liked them all. Great flavor on the imperial stout!
Great place for the family. Walk along the marina, have lunch or ice cream! You can go kayaking, stand up paddle boarding or whale watching! Visit the Ocean Institute, learn about the tall ships docked at the learning center. Or just watch the waves
Wonder nature reserve to check out. Everything is very natural. The atmosphere was very calm and collective. I love how they are trying to protect all of the amazing wildlife that surrounds Dana point. Snakes, birds, and mice all inhabit the area, a

Itâs a great place to take a stroll, learn a little California history, sit on one of the benches and take in views of the harbor and marina below, or watch the sunset.

Lovely, caring staff. Brought our little gal in. Poor thing looked neglected. Her first all out grooming other than a trim at the Vet and some lite trimming at home. She came home happy and adorable! And, the staff their was the best! See them agai
Families galore at this beach, a nice walk along the water up to the caves, I believe. Nice view and you can walk along the breakwater. Then watch the paddleboarders back qnd forth.
Besides the fact that for me Seabrook lives up to it's slogan "like living at a resort" in regards to the grounds, landscaping and amenities; what I appreciate the Most about living here are The Staff.
In nearly 6 months of residency to date, any an
