2012 Map of Dana Point

About this map

Dana Point and its sophisticated maritime infrastructure anchor this coastal survey, where the sheltered Dana Point Harbor is divided into the West Basin and East Basin. This modern shoreline development is balanced by natural coastal landmarks such as Three Arch Bay and San Juan Rocks, while the Orange County Marine Institute stands as a focal point for maritime education at Dana Cove. The inland landscape is defined by the winding course of San Juan Cr and the prominent elevations of Folsom Ridge and Coyote Bluff. To the north, residential expansion is evident in the dense street networks of Three Arch Bay and the vicinity of Cook Reservoir, while the southern reaches follow the curve of Capistrano Bight toward the San Clemente City Beach border. The presence of the Post Office in the center of Dana Point and the overlook at Ken Sampson Overlook illustrate a community built around its Pacific vantage points.
