Headlands Conservation Area

A public trail system, approximately three miles in length, links all of the conservation parks and public open space areas of the Headlands. The system includes pedestrian trails, coastal and beach access, scenic overlooks, and the Nature Interpretive Center. The trails maximize public coastal access and ocean view opportunities, while conserving the extremely rare resources on the Headlands. These trails implement the policies and guidelines of the Dana Point General Plan and the Local Coastal Plan and provide a comprehensive system that reinforces the relationship between the Headlands, the beaches, the Dana Point Harbor and the Pacific Ocean. To view more information about any of the parks within this trail system, click the links below:

All trails are open daily from 7am to sunset. Pets are not allowed on any Dana Point Headlands Conservation Area trails.
