- Dana Point: Exploring Caves, Ships, Restaurants & Beaches
Amie and I took a trip down to Dana Point and spent 36 hours exploring the city and what there is to do there. During our time we hiked to a sea cave, rented jet skis, touched sharks, photographed the sunset and explored the Ritz Carlton. It was a whirlwind 36 hours.

Thanks Josh. This brought back so many memories. My Ex wife & I used to visit Dana Point when we lived in Orange County. But back in the seventies it was just a sleepy beach town. We used to talk about how nice it would be to have a little beach house on top of the bluff. Back then it was just open land up there pretty much. The view is just amazing. No surprise it became a luxury destination.
Great informative video. Dana Point has everything a visitor can want in a beach town, half way between L.A. and San Diego. Next door to Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente, three other great places. Kudos for finding two of the best eateries in town, Stacks and The Schwack, where the locals eat too. Interesting trivia, Salt Creek Beach below the Ritz Carlton was where the photo used for the iconic movie poster for Bruce Brown's classic surf doc "Endless Summer" was taken.
Thanks for the comment and for the info on Endless Summer, I had no idea!
Remembering Dana point and surrounding area's about 1946/1947. Some of us guys would ride our bikes from Long Beach and explore the deserted caves and big gun emplacements that the military had set up for coastal protection during the war. Lots of adventure, no houses, no people. Palo Verde same way.
That sounds awesome
I live in Dana Point and didn’t even know about those caves! Thanks!! :)
Same lol
Lmao same tho
Really great vlog, it's beautifully filmed and I loved your commentary! Keep up the great work!
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
Thank you for the tour..
Hell yeah..... I hang out at salt creek beach all the time... Such a great spot. Good share.
I've watched your other video with you and your dad. I'm a native Californian and luv your videos. Thank you.
I must have watched your Santa Cruz island video over a dozen times before booking. I can't tell you how helpful it was!!! We even booked campsite 1. We're totally happy. Kayaked, hiked to sumggers, snorkeled. It was amazing!!!
Thanks for the comment, I am so glad that video was helpful. What an awesome island to explore right?
This is great information. I love the caves and the funicular! If you're ever back, we loooove The Schwack for casual dining and they have beer if you're interested. They're consistently good and relaxed. A's Bugers are pretty great too.
I really enjoy all your videos, so informative! Thank you.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Great editing, you guys are pros. Thanks for your helpful & wonderful videos. FUN!!
Thank you family for the videos, really appreciate it. Much love and light
No problem, thanks for the comment
Magnificent views! Thanks for the awesome video. Dana Point is now on my to do list!
I remember going to the ocean institute as a kid. So fun.
It's a small spot but it's fun!
Looked like an amazing time! Thanks for sharing the amazing shots! Great photography!
You did such a great job! I love Dana point!
yup,, definitely coming here , 1 hour drive from Long Beach ..That Cave is Sick ! your new name is Gem Finder .
You would love that sea cave hike, short and easy but a cool spot to explore!
Nk
Ian Mandel lol he is one of thousands to “find” the cave
Check out El Matador in Malibu there’s a giant sea cave there as well
Really great episode mate! That hotel and general area looked amazing. Plus, alongside the beautiful videography and fantastic drone shots, you unknowingly reminded me of the name 'Dana Point' which I've been trying to remember for about three weeks! I was like "what's that place we always drive through on our way down the Pacific coastline that has the little lighthouses as you enter through the gateway?!" 😀 so thanks for that!! I'll have to make a point to stop off there next time...
Really appreciate it, thanks for the videography compliment! Glad the video helped you remember the name
Dana Point is named for Richard Henry Dana, 1815 -1882, author of the classic book "Two Years Before the Mast." A terrific true story of a young Boston native visiting California by sailing ship, before it was a State.
Pasadena CA. would be a good episode. Lots to do From hiking, Dining,Ice skating, Art and History museums.
That's a great suggestion, I will have to add that to the list!
California Through My Lens what time of the month did you go to Dana point?
I actually live in San Juan Capistrano, and learned more than I already know!! Thanx.
Good to see someone exploring around where I live. It’s very beautiful here a little crowded in the summer but would advise anyone to visit early in the fall or early Spring
Soji Atitebi I live on Dana point to lol
tom__eddsworld oh cool
Those strands stairs are like hell. I have to walk up and down them 5 days a week for Junior lifeguards
Love the photography! Really great shots.

the Pilgrim was recently sunk. Repairs were too risky so it went bye-bye
I was wondering what happened, thank you
Visiting California soon. Definitely adding this to my list of places to see😍
It is an amazing area to explore
And that's just the tip of the ice burg...
Love these!!! Taking the kids here!
Thanks for the comment, glad you like the video!
Love it! ❤️
What a nice experience.
In 1949 there were no commercial buildings along this stretch of Coast Highway. We camped on Salt Creek beach and gathered abalone from the under water cave at Dana Point. The men cleaned the stomachs out and the Mothers pounded the slices until tender. We fried them in hot butter for a minute and half on each side. They were delicious. Read "Two Years Before the Mast" by Dana. Susanna Pyron
Those were the days! Where is that under water cave?
Those were the days!

Amazing video!!! My earliest memories are in dana point, I grew up off selva rd, at RH Dana elementary we had a field trip to visit the ocean institute and one to visit the pilgrim boat, we also had a trip to see the whales and we buried a time capsule right in the cliff, that was about 25 years ago, I wonder if it’s still there
Pilgrim is not there anymore
Every lady I have shown Loves DP! best vacation every!
Iv slept on the Pilgrim for a fieldtrip back in elementary its a cool ship

Thanks for the comments and for watching the videos!
Cool Mate!

Thank you!
The caves are very dangerous- rocks fall there all the time! My husband was hit by one and nearly killed. Please be cautious if you go here!
i was just there today for my Geology class, pretty sure my professor who grew up there is not aware of the caves. u got a new subscriber (^.^)
You need more Promo Man, Your Stuff is Great...
It is I always looked at his videos before and while I was out all over So Cal from Malibu to San Diego.. loved Donut Bar!!
Great video;)
Thank you!

California Through My Lens awesome
RIP lil Pilgrim.
Who made that 1st beat? Fire
Amazing...what song is this?
THERES A CAVE!!!
Very nice, is the Ritz Carlton open for dine in if you’re not a checked in guest?
Yes, you should be able to dine there without being a guest
I HAD TO SLEEP ON THE PILGRIM
same
Check it out, are they statues or frozen in time?
3:00 what do you call that mini lift train ? is that part of the monarch beach hotel ? we are planning to go this september, it looks cool, is that free for hotel guest?
That's at Strand Beach, next to the Ritz. It's free to the public.
Dude i work at the ritz carlton in dana point
How do I find the sea cave exactly?
Aveo table and bar does not offer buffet anymore.
I slept on the Dana Point Mariner
Im visiting Anaheim for 3 days this weekend. Is it worth making the trip to Dana Point?
Well, there's a lot of choices of Orange County Beaches. I think Dana Point is great for hiking and beautiful views and some nice restaurants. Nearby Laguna Beach is my favorite though and if you're into art, that's the town to visit. They also have great dining, views, and hiking. Huntington Beach is the best for surf culture and wide and spacious beaches. . But Disney can take two days to really see it, if that's what you're interested in. So you may have to pick and choose. I would try to find time to go to at least one of the beaches I mentioned, though.
you need to put yourself on your page i almost did not open because I didn't know it was your channel we have to recognize you
Rip the pilgrims just sank two months ago
