It's Fall and some of the best weather of the year happens in Dana Point during these few weeks!  When the Santa Ana winds are blowing inland, the beach is often warm and very clear!  Come and stay with us and enjoy the fall weather.  Sneak away and take a break before the holidays and all the rush associated with them overwhelms your schedule (and it happens faster and sooner than we expect!).  We hope to see you soon!
October 5-6, 2024 - Palm Tree Music Festival at Doheny State Beach in Dana Point. Two days of beachfront concerts this year!!
