Dana Point

Ocean Institute Beach

A small beach tucked away behind a marine research center. Off the beaten path is where you'll find this pretty secluded cove surrounded by a cliff at the north end of Dana Point Harbor. While there are no facilities like restrooms here, this is a very cool spot and if you visit at low tide, you can walk along the beach to reach a small sea cave.
