Dana Point encompasses 6.5 square miles and is home to 33,577 people and numerous businesses. It prides itself with nearly seven miles of prominent coastal bluffs and rolling hills along the Pacific Ocean with its charming beaches and wild surfs. Most noteworthy of these bluffs is a unique promontory known as the Headlands, which overlooks Dana Point Harbor.

The City incorporated in January 1989 as a general law City with a Council-Manager form of government with five Council members elected by district. The City’s leadership and development is guided by its Mission, and Strategic and General Plans. The City provides a myriad of services such as Police and Fire (through the County of Orange and the Fire Authority), code enforcement, zoning and building permitting, public works, recreation, parks and senior services. It also provides other services and programs such as animal control, street sweeping, annual tree maintenance, community gardens, vacation checks, and others. The Council and staff are committed to producing results and providing our residents, businesses and visitors with excellent service.

The City’s primary mission is to set the standard for an exceptionally livable city. Staff provide high quality services by demonstrating strong customer service and high levels of professional excellence to maintain and enhance the community’s environment and quality of life.
