About Doheny State Beach

Doheny State Beach, California's first state beach and a renowned surfing destination in Orange County, stretches along Dana Point's coastline where swimmers, surfers, and beachgoers spend days in the water and sand. The park opens daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM and charges admission, with prices published online. Visitors can camp at the on-site campground or use day-use facilities, and the park hosts monthly beach cleanup events throughout the year. Dogs are welcome on the grounds when leashed, though they cannot access the beach itself. Fourth graders and their families receive free entry through the state's 4th Grade Pass at this location. Disabled visitors with a valid California State Parks Disabled Discount Pass pay $7.50 for day-use vehicle entry instead of the standard rate, while the lifetime disability pass offers 50% discounts on vehicle day-use and camping fees. Located approximately one mile north of I-5 near San Juan Capistrano, Doheny State Beach is accessible by car and offers accessible features throughout the park.
