Dana Point Arches

"It’s a delightful trail for an evening walk. Positioned at the top, it offers breathtaking panoramic views that you can truly relish. Take a leisurely stroll or simply sit and immerse yourself in the beauty of the surroundings. The area boasts incredible photography spots, making it a perfect spot for capturing memorable moments."

"the place itself is quiet and peaceful. the trail is a nice walk but the arches it's like so over rated. but nevertheless a nice view to relax and a good walk in a nice neighborhood and a nearby places to eat. 3.5/5"

"Great photo op spot with incredible views of the harbor! You walk down like 2 flights of stairs to a little wood bridge with palm trees and plant life thriving underneath to get to the archs, where you can read a brief history on when the arch’s were made."

"Awesome views! It’s a great place to take a stroll, learn a little California history, sit on one of the benches and take in views of the harbor and marina below, or watch the sunset. Located in the Lantern District of Dana Point, in a residential neighborhood. Plenty of street parking available and I was surprised that It was not very crowded for a Sunday afternoon. Definitely worth stopping."

"i'm so glad i was able to find this hidden gem. i was expecting the location to be swarmed with people as it was nearing sunset but the longer we walked the small walking path, the less people we saw. it's an awesome view of the harbor and the arches themselves have an interesting history. i really thought there was more to them but it's literally just about 3-4 of them. the real draw is the seclusion and the view that you are able to take in. i highly suggest seeing this for yourself."
