3 reviews for Dana Point Harbor
Dana Point Harbor is a favorite place of mine for running. I usually park down by the Ocean Institute and then run to Capo Beach and back. You can also run around the island in the middle of the harbor.
Every Thanksgiving, the Dana Point Turkey Trot starts and ends here. http://www.turkeytrot.com. There is a 10K run/walk and also two 5K run/walks (one for people 40 and above, and the other for 39 and under). I had a freak accident running here last year in the 10K and tripped over a cone and broke the ball of my humerus bone in my shoulder. It was not at all funny. Despite my fall, I still enjoy the harbor, and I don't hold a grudge. Well, maybe a little, but that's mostly aimed at whoever put that stupid cone in the middle of the road.
Afterward, I enjoy eating at one of the many restaurants in the harbor. It makes for a perfect morning.

Okay, this post and this review is only for Dana Point Harbor, and not for the seafood category that I see this under.
Well, first off, Dana Point Harbor was one of my favorite getaway spots, whether early morning, afternoon, evening or night time.
I enjoyed getting away, sitting out along one of the near waterside benches and staring out into God's vast, blue ocean. I still recall feeling the ever-present, cool, offshore breeze gently drifting past you. The ocean scent, with its fresh supply of oxygen, seemed to lovingly minister, when I'd needed times of healing.
I spent many moments in devotion to God here. Praying to God and pondering, many times weeping before my Heavenly Father. Some of my fondest memories of California were right here, at Dana Point Harbor.
I'm from this area, and now live in New York City. Still, when I visit CA, the only physical location where my heart yearns to come back to, is this quiet and peaceful harbor.
Nice calm little harbor.. Very nice gate person who monitors the gated entrance for the boat dock parking.. Beautiful area with a lot of great restaurants. Very fun harbor to take the boat out on not as hectic as other harbors. Don't forget get to say Hi to the harbor seals.
