Dana Point beaches- Salt Creek and more

Salt Creek Beach
Salt Creek beach is a long sandy beach that runs the length of the Monarch Beach community of Dana Point, from the edge of South Laguna to the headlands just before Dana Point Harbor. The Ritz Carlton sits just about in the center and there is a small point with a nice for surfing. I've counted as many as 150 surfers in the water at once on good day. There is a large public park adjacent to the Ritz Carlton where you can have a picnic and enjoy the view. If you walk south to the headland and the tide is low you will be able to enjoy some sea life in the tide pools. The beach also tends to be more quiet there as most people don't stroll that far to sit in the sun. During the right time of year be sure to keep your eye out for migrating whales, and of course the dolphins are always around. No dogs allowed, early enough in the morning it is very quiet and you can get away with it.
Excellent beach, you'll enjoy it.
