Things To Do
Dana Point Harbor
The wedding is taking place in the harbor. Realistically, you don’t even have to leave the harbor the whole time you’re here the harbor has shops, there’s dining, bars, beaches and so much more!
Proud Mary's Restaurant
Our favorite brunch spot in Dana Point!
Craft House
Great food, nice atmosphere and good staff.
Turk's Dana Warf Restaurant
Dive bar on the harbor.
Wind & Sea Restaurant
Known for the Mai Tai’s and the view.

Pizza
Jimmy's Famous American Tavern
Great restaurant near the wedding site. Views of the harbor.
StillWater Spirits & Sounds
Fun bar in between the ceremony and reception site.
The lost Inferno

The Cliff Restaurant
Best view in Laguna Beach, AMAZING STAFF and the food is great. Drinks are strong so be careful. 10/10 Casual. Breakfast/lunch/dinner
Hennessey's Tavern
My old stomping grounds. Good Irish pub across from the beach. Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner. Serves food until 11pm.
Saloon
This is a must! Get a po po shot or a pineo! Adorable little spot. They have Guinness on tap.
Sushi Laguna
Great sushi spot in the heart of Laguna.
Urth Caffe
Breakfast/lunch spot.
In-N-Out Burger
If you come to California you gotta get in-in-out!! Del taco is also a popular option for out of towners. They’re everywhere but this one is close to the outlets and Dana Point.
Gelato Paradiso
Gelato
Vladimir Kush - Kush Fine Art Laguna Beach
Favorite art gallery in Laguna Beach. It’s across from main beach.
Baby Beach
Nice mellow beach. We will be having a little welcome party here! Located in the harbor by the ocean Institute. Easy to kayak here or paddle board.
Salt Creek Beach
Epic beach, grass walking paths and sandy beaches. Great low key breakfast/lunch spot with ocean views!! Very down to earth. Great beach day spot. Parking is $1 per hour.
Montage Laguna Beach
Ocean front property with the BEST views in all of Southern California. Beach access is available to the public. It’s free to walk the grounds. They do have a lobby bar and a parking garage so you don’t have to valet. You can also street park. Highly recommend. But it’s bougie just a FYI.
Main Beach
Center of town. Good spot to park and walk.
Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach
Lobby bar 10/10. Aveeo restaurant is on property and very good! Bourbon is on site too and has come highly recommended. Upscale property but very comfortable. We have stayed many times. NICE GOLF course!
Fashion Island
Outdoor shopping mall with ocean views. It’s a total scene. Restaurants galore. Also has a food court. You don’t need to go on the freeway you can take PCH which is a coastal drive. Highly recommend.
Outlets at San Clemente
Outlet shopping! It’s close by you can take the coast or the freeway.
Dana Wharf Sportfishing & Whale Watching Dana Point
They have 2 hour whale watching. It’s one of my favorite things to do. We have coupons if you’re interested. They also have 4 hour fishing charters.
Ralphs Fresh Fare
Ralph’s is the same thing as Kroger or Publix. If you want to grab basic groceries.
Target
Honestly you can find a target anywhere here but for reference this is the closest to the wedding site and most hotels in the Dana point area.
Topside Roof Deck
TopSide is Newport Beach’s only rooftop bar!
