Dana’s Grotto is located steps away from one of the most romantic beaches in the world! Just a five minute walk and you will find your toes in the surf and sand of the Pacific Ocean with Dana Point providing a stunning back drop. A leisurely walk on the beach you will see the Ritz-Carlton perched on the cliff and the local surfers riding the endless waves at Salt Creek Beach. The beach is perfect for kids and families with life guards on duty all summer long and lots of new friends to be made while building sand castles. After your morning walk on the beach to Starbucks, play 36 holes at Monarch Beach Links with the Pacific Ocean out of bounds right!
Dana Point Harbor is absolutely a great place to enjoy a day. Fabulous restaurants and shopping are perfectly placed amongst hundreds of sail boats and yachts that make the Harbor a truly unique destination. You will be able to see fisherman returning from the sea with the catch or the day or enjoy ordering the catch of the day at one of the many seafood restaurants. The Harbor is also the place where the Tall Ship festival, Whale Watching, The Festival of Whales, Doheney Days Jazz Festival, and excursions to Catalina Island originate.
Laguna Beach is just a five mile drive down the historic Pacific Coast Highway. You will find breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and unique houses built into the steep hillsides. This is the place where the day and night life never end. The sun seems to invite Laguna locals and visitors for leisurely walks through Laguna Village. Unique restaurants and boutiques are behind every corner, not to mention the plethora of art galleries for which Laguna is famous. After your walk through Laguna Village, don’t forget to check out Main Beach where basketballers, Vollyeballers, sunbathers, chess players, dogs, musicians, locals, tourists, and some very interesting people all collide, a perfect place to rest!
