2. Our History
Dana Point is named after Richard Henry Dana, Jr., a Harvard-trained
lawyer, seaman, and author of the classic sea journal, “Two Years Before
the Mast.” His writings document the voyage from Boston around Cape
Horn to California on the merchant ship, Pilgrim, and describe the area
once known as Capistrano Bay, as “the most romantic spot on the
California Coast”. Today, Capistrano Bay is home to Dana Point.
