Dock wisdom

Dana Point is the nearest harbor - 15 minutes south and has the best whale watching operations in Orange County.

Gray whale season runs December through April - often visible from the Heisler Park bluffs for free.

Laguna's snorkeling at Shaw's Cove is best early morning before wave action churns up visibility.

Sunset sails from Dana Point book out fast in summer - reserve a day ahead.

Operators are real local fixtures — confirm current sailing times and prices with each operator before you go. Countdowns run on the real local clock and the sunset sail time is computed from tonight’s actual sunset.
