WELCOME TO DANA POINT

Dana Point has experienced a massive real estate surge, transitioning from a sleepy surf town into a premier luxury market driven by the multi-million dollar revitalization of its Harbor and elite oceanfront developments like The Strand at Headlands. Custom contemporary estates sit right above the sand, commanding premium prices for direct beach access and uncompromised sunset views over the water. The lifestyle is deeply tied to ocean recreation, offering a maritime playground filled with whale watching, sailing, surfing at iconic spots like Doheny and Salt Creek, and dining at luxury seaside resorts.

LIFESTYLE

Dana Point’s entertainment scene is undergoing a spectacular modern renaissance, heavily anchored by the ongoing multi-million-dollar revitalization of its harbor. The waterfront is a bustling hub for casual seafood spots, lively outdoor bars, and a brand-new selection of upcoming retail concepts. For high-end luxury, the nearby Waldorf Astoria and Ritz-Carlton resorts offer Michelin-caliber dining and pristine ocean-view lounges. Major activities are heavily focused on ocean recreation; it is officially the whale-watching capital of the world, a legendary surfing destination at Salt Creek and Doheny beaches, and the premier local spot for renting paddleboards, kayaks, and sailing charters.
