Dana Strands Beach

Dana Strands Beach is a top-notch site, notable for its cleanliness and vast sandy beach, where one can enjoy miles of walking paths by the shore, accompanied by beautiful views.

Nice kinda hidden beach away from all the busyness. I didn’t know this place existed haha! Parking lot available for Free, there is also street parking available. This beach has about three different entrances. The entrance we chose was to the left of the parking as you are facing the beach. A good amount of stairs and a few ramps. This was a Saturday (Labor Day Weekend) around 9 am. Parking lot was about 40% full, definitely a good surprise! The beach is well maintained and clean. You can fish by the rocks and spear fishing. Plenty of space to set up an umbrella and relax. We did not go into the water, just walked the beach. A good 3-4 miles up and down I believe. Maybe more with the stairs. There are bathrooms available, clean ones. Live guards onsite also! Definitely recommended! Just be prepared for the stairs going down to the beach. I’m not sure how the other entrances are!

This is a nice beach which is a strip of sand and some nice views, and is not crowded as it is quite long. There is also a path along most of the beach's length.

Great views, nice walking (whether on the beach or the paved walkway), and excellent scenery. There’s plenty of parking. Methinks that the steep grade from the parking area to the beach keeps it less crowded than it might otherwise be.

Dana Strand Beach has been our go-to summer spot since the 1990s. Its pristine sands, crystal-clear waters, and serene atmosphere make it the perfect destination for a relaxing day by the ocean. Our family loves spending time here, whether it's soaking up the sun, playing in the waves, or taking leisurely walks along the shoreline. One of our favorite traditions is enjoying lunch at the nearby Ritz Carlton after a fun-filled morning at the beach. The luxury and quality of the Ritz Carlton dining experience never disappoints, providing a delightful contrast to the casual beach vibe. The stunning views from the Ritz, coupled with their exquisite cuisine, create unforgettable family memories. Dana Strand Beach is also great for walking, jogging, and exercising. The long stair steps at both ends of the beach offer a fantastic workout with a view. This combination of natural beauty and physical activity makes our visits even more enjoyable. Dana Strand Beach holds a special place in our hearts, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and convenient amenities. It's a cherished destination for our family, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic beach experience.
