About Dana Point Harbor-Baby Beach/Swim Area
As you can imagine, Baby Beach attracts families with small children. However, there is a small launch zone for boats and kayaks within the beach boundaries so expect some other activity. Park in the lot right off the beach and walk right in. Nice Walks and Views: Walk along the harbor’s paths and admire the tall ships and yachts anchored there. There are also many picnic areas with shade trees. Bathrooms are at the south end of the beach.
Reminders: There is a 3-day rain advisory after each rain storm, use caution as bacteria levels can increase during this period. The County Environmental Health staff advises swimmers that levels of bacteria can rise significantly in ocean and bay waters adjacent to storm drains, creeks and rivers. Swimmers should avoid coastal waters impacted by discharging storm drains creeks and rivers, and beach users should avoid contact with any runoff on the beach during dry or wet weather conditions. As an extra precaution remain 500 ft away on either side from any outfalls.
