Dana Point Vacation Guide
Dana Point is a city in Orange county, California, popular for its nice coastline and harbor. It is a nice weekend getaway place to relax. It was named after Richard Henry Dana Jr. (1815-1882), a Harvard-trained lawyer, seaman, and author of the classic sea journal, Two Years Before the Mast (1840). Dana Point was originally called Bahia de San Juan Capistrano (Capistrano Bay). In his sea journal, Richard Dana Jr. described Capistrano Bay as "the most romantic spot on the California coast."
