Dana Point Harbor:
Whale Watching & Marine Environment Cruises from Dana Point are special. While many ports now host boats that offer similar trips, the easy access to the local waters makes local trips much more effective. Passengers are only five minutes away from ?Sea Lion Penthouse,? where visitors usually see a number of playful California Sea Lions. Very often, there are large schools of dolphin in the area. It is also a common
belief that Dana Point is a navigational landmark for the whales during their migration, hopefully bringing them closer to shore in these areas. Information: (949) 496-1094 or 661-7122
