About Dana Point Marina Inn
Harborfront stay with views, beaches, and coastal charm.
Dana Point Marina Inn is the only hotel set directly inside Dana Point Harbor, placing guests at the center of the marina’s nautical rhythm. Rooms are simple yet inviting, many with balconies that open to sailboats drifting out to sea. Mornings start with a complimentary continental breakfast before heading out to the heated outdoor pool or strolling the harbor boardwalk.
Inside, the atmosphere leans relaxed and coastal, with functional comforts like Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and coffee makers. Some rooms offer harbor-facing views that catch the golden light at sunset. A small fitness center, meeting space, and free on-site parking add practical ease to the experience.
The inn’s greatest asset, however, is its location. Doheny State Beach is a short walk away, and whale-watching boats leave from docks just across the street. Whether staying in for a swim by the pool or heading out to explore Orange County’s most scenic shoreline, the property connects seamlessly to both rest and adventure.
