Things To Do
Dana Point Harbor
There's a delicious bagel spot here, and it's a lovely place to spend your morning! There are also kayak and paddle board rentals in the harbor.
iHeartYoga in the Park
Yoga in the Park is great! The classes are fun, and you can enjoy an amazing view of the ocean while you practice. Bring a mat or a beach towel and some stretchy clothes. Also, stop by the harbor after your morning yoga class for a bagel and some coffee!
San Clemente Pier
San Clemente Pier is a beautiful place to catch some sun and enjoy the southern California lifestyle. It's also a great place to surf (or to watch other people surf haha).
Irvine Spectrum Center
This is an awesome outdoor mall if you're looking for some retail therapy. There's also a movie theater and some nice restaurants.
Los Rios Historic District
Los Rios is an adorable old street in San Juan Capistrano. Make sure to take a stop in at Hidden House Cafe, a local favorite! There also great restaurants over here like Trevor at the Tracks, Capistrano Winery, and Five Vines.
Mission San Juan Capistrano
The San Juan Capistrano Mission is one of the more famous missions built by Spanish colonialists in the 1700s. It was partially destroyed by earthquakes, but it is still a nice place to visit!
Ronald W. Caspers Wilderness Park
For anyone looking to get some hiking in over the weekend, look no further than Caspers. If you really want to rough it, you can even camp here during your stay!
1000 Steps Beach
This is Shannon's favorite beach! It's beautiful and is normally a bit less crowded than some of the other beaches. But it is called 1000 steps for a reason, so be prepared to walk a lot of steps to get in and out.
Swallow's Inn
San Juan's oldest (dive) bar. Count on them for live music and country or line dancing! It's an experience...
Laguna Beach
Downtown Laguna Beach is a fun place to walk around. There are plenty of art galleries and cute shops and restaurants to visit.
