Salt Creek Beach Park combines a Pacific beach with a grassy bluff-top park in Dana Point.
The elevated lawns and coastal views offer an alternative to time on the sand, while the shoreline is a popular setting for surfing and other beach recreation.
Check OC Parks notices, parking arrangements and ocean conditions before a visit. The access road down to the beach is restricted, so plan for the walk from the designated parking area and review accessibility information if needed. The photograph shows the beach and coastline from above; surf and shoreline conditions change.
