Things to do in Dana Point, Cali

The half day or longer fishing excursions are always a nice time and good way to see the coast from Laguna Beach down to San Clemente. Unfortunately, harbor is going through a massive renovation right now so a lot of that is out of commission.

San Juan Capistrano right up the road from Dana Point is one of my favorite little towns along the coast and has a bunch of good restaurants with an old town charm to it. And if you wanted to take the Surfliner for a quick day trip to north county San Diego (Solana Beach/Del Mar), it's a pretty ride along the water and one of the few stops is in San Juan.

Final suggestion for a nice sunset activity, google Seaview trail and/or top of the world laguna niguel.
