Located in the city of Dana Point, Dana Point Headlands Beach is a remote and rocky beach nestled below the cliffs of the Dana Point Headlands Conservation Area. This stunning location is part of the broader network of conservation parks in Orange County, including the South Strands Conservation Park and Harbor Point Conservation Park. These parks are managed by the Center for Natural Lands Management and are celebrated for their preserved coastal sage scrub habitats and scenic overlooks. Visitors can enjoy various amenities such as picnic tables, benches, sea caves, tide pools, and the trail system that offers pedestrian trails, coastal and beach access, and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Additionally, the Dana Point Nature Interpretive Center, located near the trailhead, provides educational exhibits about the local ecology and conservation efforts.
