Review:

Dana Point Harbor is hailed as the "Whale Capital of the World" for its excellent vantage points for watching migrating gray and blue whales throughout the winter months. The lively harborfront is home to a plethora of specialty shopping and dining experiences, as well as the beautiful Baby Beach, which offers excellent swimming conditions and stunning cliffside panoramic views.

The harbor also serves as the launching-off point for the famed Catalina Express, which travels regularly to nearby resort area Catalina Island.

Special events hosted at the harbor throughout the year include a Festival of Whales, a Tall Ships Festival, and a Holiday Boat Parade.
