DESCRIPTION

Capistrano Beach is one of Dana Point’s best-kept secrets, offering a distinct small-town atmosphere while remaining close to some of Orange County’s most desirable attractions. Residents enjoy direct beach access, breathtaking sunsets, and a community-oriented lifestyle. The neighborhood is known for its classic beach cottages, custom-built luxury homes, and contemporary coastal estates—many of which feature panoramic ocean views.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the abundance of recreational activities, including surfing, paddleboarding, beachside biking, and scenic coastal walks. The neighborhood’s crown jewel, Capistrano Beach Park, offers picnic areas, fire pits, and a picturesque walking path along the shoreline, making it a favorite spot for both locals and visitors.

The real estate market in Capistrano Beach is diverse, with a mix of historic cottages, remodeled mid-century homes, and new luxury builds. Buyers looking for oceanfront homes will find impressive estates along Beach Road, a private, gated stretch of coastline that offers some of the most exclusive real estate in Southern California. Inland properties offer stunning ocean-view residences at more accessible price points, making Capistrano Beach a viable option for a range of buyers, from first-time homeowners to luxury investors.

Beyond the beach, Capistrano Beach residents enjoy convenient access to Dana Point Harbor, which is undergoing a multi-million-dollar revitalization to enhance its shopping, dining, and waterfront experiences. The area is also a short drive to Laguna Beach, San Clemente, and San Juan Capistrano, offering an array of upscale restaurants, boutique shopping, and cultural attractions.
