VisitDanaPoint.com; @VisitDanaPoint—Dana Point is an attractive meeting destination along Southern California’s coastline. From the iconic Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club with 400-plus rooms and flexible meeting spaces to the oceanfront Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, which underwent a multimillion-dollar redesign this year and offers more than 30,000 square feet of event space, options cater to groups of all sizes. The Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa and Hilton Garden Inn Dana Point-Doheny Beach provide additional boutique-style experiences with boardrooms, outdoor terraces, and wellness-focused amenities. Many properties feature spa services, fitness centers, rooftop lounges, and dining outlets showcasing the region’s fresh, coastal flavors.
Beyond hotels, Dana Point offers a variety of activities to keep attendees inspired and engaged. Groups can embark on whale-watching tours, sail along the scenic coastline, or take surfing lessons. In addition, local golf courses and hiking trails provide teambuilding and networking opportunities.
The $600 million revitalization of Dana Point Harbor, slated to debut in 2028, will reconstruct the commercial core and marinas, add two new hotels, and enhance waterfront amenities—all while keeping local businesses open.
