Hiking

In 1835, Richard Henry Dana Jr. visited California. He later wrote in his memoir that the cliffs of Capistrano Bay were the "most romantic spot on the coast." Though originally called San Juan Point, the promontory was eventually named Dana Point after Dana's glowing description of the area in his famous book.

This spot also has a few benches which are perfect to sit back and watch the sunset.
