 One of Orange County's newest cities, Dana Point is an attractive community characterized by nearly seven miles of prominent coastal bluffs and rolling hills along the Pacific Ocean. Some of the most beautiful ocean scenes are found and enjoyed here, from glorious sunsets to pods of playful whales. Most noteworthy is a unique promontory known as the "Headlands" which overlooks Dana Point Harbor, one of the most significant man-made alterations of the Orange County coastline.
Located approximately half way between Los Angeles and San Diego, Dana Point is bordered by the cities of Laguna Niguel, Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente. The City is home to about 38,000 residents and offers a safe environment, exceptional schools, numerous services and amenities, and a wide range of recreational activities.
Children attend schools in the Capistrano School District which is currently renovating all the schools. State rankings for Dana Point High School are high - in the 90th percentiles within the state of California. For adult education, the Capistrano Adult School offers over 170 classes at 20 sites and consists of students from the ages of 18 to 90. Classes are available to students during the morning, afternoon and evening hours.

Also home to the Orange County Marine Institute, residents and visitors have the opportunity of enrolling in programs and activities to learn about the environment.
