Take a Little Bit of Dana Point Home With You
Take a bit of Dana Point home with you. From upscale to casual and beach chic, Dana Point features some of the best shopping in Orange County. Dana Point’s downtown and Dana Point Harbor feature family-owned surf shops, charming boutiques, and galleries featuring local artists, while our neighboring town of San Clemente hosts an impressive outlet mall, and Laguna Beach also has a stylish blend of independent unique stores.
Dana Point Harbor showcases unique seaside shops at Dana Wharf, Mariner’s Village and Mariner’s Alley. Located adjacent the beach, Monarch Bay Plaza has a rich history of style and features upscale fashion boutiques, health and beauty services, fine furniture and specialty stores. And don’t forget the legendary surf and board shops.
Shopping in Dana Point Harbor
The shops at Dana Point Harbor are grouped into three districts: Dana Wharf, Mariner’s Village and Mariner’s Alley–all are very close to each other and accessible for an afternoon of seaside shopping in the sun.
When it’s time to step out of shorts and sandals, step up to Top Brass for stylish menswear made for Southern California. For women’s fashion with that easy, breezy SoCal vibe, Golden Galleon Boutique has been the Dana Point go-to for over 30 years. Woody Hut embraces the classic beach style with ocean-inspired jewelry, clothing and gifts—it’s the perfect place to grab a souvenir.
Take home Pacific-inspired sculptures, art and jewelry at Art Sea to remember your time in Dana Point. Next door, California’s rich Native American culture explodes in dazzling colors and textures at White Pelican with masterfully crafted art, jewelry and windcatchers. Or, go just a little overboard on bringing the sea back home with Bella Bazaar’s nautical decor and jewelry.
Located between Salt Creek and Monarch Beach; Monarch Bay Plaza has a rich history of style and features upscale fashion boutiques and cozy sleepwear from Lingerie Paradis USA, health and beauty services, fine furniture and specialty stores. And don’t forget the legendary surf and board shops Downtown and The Lantern District like Hobie Surf Shop, and Girl and the Curl Shop & Surfing School. From Jewelers to locally produced wines, Dana Point has it all!
Laguna Beach Shopping
Fifteen minutes north of Dana Point, Laguna Beach shopping offers something different when you day trip to experience the famous Southern California town. At the heart of Laguna Beach, shopping is the HIP District, which sits along the Pacific Coast Highway. HIP stands for Historic and Interesting Places, FYI.
