Dana Point Kayaking and Paddle Boarding
Dana Point locals love kayaking and paddleboarding almost as much as surfing.Kayaks are the most popular watercraft, with rentals all over town, and it's common to see whole families paddling through the harbor together, everyone off their phones and in the moment.
Kayaking also makes for a great fishing trip, with halibut and bass both in reach. Stand-up paddleboarding is just as popular, using a long paddle to glide across the water. Dana Point Harbor is the hub for both, with calm launch spots like Baby Beach ideal for beginners. For something different, iHeartYoga hosts SUP yoga classes in partnership with Westwind Sailing, no experience required, pairing thirty minutes of paddling with an hour of yoga on the board.
