"Baby Beach <3"
So right in Dana Point near the Ocean Institute is the baby beach. If you have a little one who loves the beach but is too small to go then go here! They have a breaker wall that blocks all the wave and there is even a lifeguard their to watch your little ones.

"Rocks and tide pools"
My kids and I found this little gem when we were exploring the area around the Dana Point Ocean Institute.
We followed the boardwalk past the Pilgrim and the Spirit of Dana Point (the two historic sailing ships). We stood and looked them over and enjoyed imagining exploring them from bow to stern but our adventure that day included not spending money on admission. We wandered the trail past the Ocean Institute and found it ended where the cliff and the harbor jetty meet. There was a caged staircase leading down to the beach.
We enjoyed the many rocks of this beach and splashing in the surf. We saw a tour group heading along the rocks to the tide pools... which also sounded fun. We were trying to see the whales passing by during the Whale Festival but we didn't see any spouts. Despite that, it was a great adventure to find this beach!
