Dana Cove Park in Dana Point

Romantic place to relax

It was beautiful!!

Lots of parking space. Baby/toddler friendly beach. Picnic areas under the tree. Couple of ramadas with bbq grill. Bathroom for male and female. Shower area. Water fountain.

Wonderful family beach park.

We enjoyed the beach. Much more diverse here than at the Waldorf.

Great place for family time...

Beautiful placeWas not thinkingA billion people, but everyone was nice and polite

Parking is not easy, but all you have to do is wait. There always is someone every less than 5 min.

Behind the Ocean Institute is another beautiful, picturesque Beach. Beware of the high tide!

A very nice place to go with little kids. Beach is calm and no strong waves.

If you walk, or I jog & run (whatever youre comfortable withtill the end, you will see this radar station with a few concrete steps. About a mile and a half distance but worth it. Wear sturdy shoes though or just take a few steps and take in some ocean breeze, hear the birds, or spot a seal.Worth it.

Lovely park. Be sure to visit the Pilgrim and the Ocean Institute as well as the tide pools.

The rock wall was too rocky. It hurt my feet. Also the waves sometimes are big and you get all wet. Needs more warning signage

One of my favorite spots, i return here every time i come to the beach.

quire beach for little one. very nice place to hiking too.

Easy in and out with paddle boards and kayaks. Even a place to put boards after and wash with fresh water and showers. Free parking too!

Beautiful view.

Always love visiting the baby beach

So beautiful! Worthy of some mindful meditation..

My most frequented beach to enjoy sunsets without parking or crowd hassles. Its small beach area gets gobbled up at high tide...but always nice at dusk..the nearby baby beach is great for young families w no waves, and nearby pirate ships!

Windy yet serenity. Love it.

Came in by boat. A good place to stretch your legs and walk. Some lovely restaurants nearby too

I loved this place when we first started going to California. It is more of a Rocky beach, but very fun nonetheless. There is a hike around a cliff to “sea” a cove.

Perfect sand for building a sand castle village like we did the last two times we went to Baby Beach. We even setup a horse shoe area and that was loads of fun. It’s small enough to get to know people at the beach but big enough to enjoy your own space. Definitely will be going back because the sand is amazing and we love how quiet it is there.

Small park adjacent to baby beach. Great lil park for family gathering in the sun.

Nice view

Great beach for young families. Soft sand, small waves and relatively shallow water.

Busy but had lots of fun!

This is not the best tidepools to go to but there are a lot of things to do when you get there there are also many good restruants around. Just remeber to bring your wallet when you eat out there.

Beach in harbor, picnic tables, restrooms, grass areas

My kids love coming here to play in the sand or chill have a picnic. Very kid friendly we love coming here.

Very good scenery to walk and take photo. I am very enjoyed.

One of my favorite beach spots in OC

This is a great place to walk around there are plenty of facilities for BBQs picmix and restrooms. We came here and cut Pokemon one night and there were a hundred people it was amazing!

Great place for small children. Waves are not big so you dont have to worry so much. Not a place to surf.

Its a nice place to walk and hang out. Friendly people and a beautiful view.

Cool Place to hang out for a BBQ or to just catch some pokemon

Cute harbor. Good for a walk. Not sure if I would swim here.

Beautiful beach, no waves, perfect for 1st timers SUP boarding or kayaking , my little boy loves it here, children are safe to swim and play.

I live in the area so I might be a little biased. Its a nice little park, but it can get crowded on the weekends.

Unique man-made harbor. Nice place to relax. Parking fills up quick!

Awesome for kids and paddle boarding

Loved my visit here with the family. It was the best time ever!

Great place for small kids.

Beautiful park. Great views. City street parking only.

My family and friends always have a great time here!!!

Great park to bring the family to and enjoy some beach time (especially easy for the little oneshave a BBQ or picnic on the grass or at the benches. Afterwards head on up to the marina restaurants for some food and desserts and or do some shopping. Plenty to do here, check it out!

Wonderful park in Dana Point. A great place to take a break and enjoy the Orange County weather.

The people are friendly and keep active and passive about keeping active and positive lifestyle.

Parking was terrible but, a great time was had! Kayak rentals available (nothing fancy but nice), also paddle boards. Perfect for the little ones!
