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."

Byron took me to Dana Point Harbor to see the collection of boats and visit the little shops at the harbor. It was very interesting how crowded it was at the harbor where the boats are anchored. Byron told me it costs a fortune to live on the boats due to high rental on water space. It was busy bei…
