Capistrano Beach, also known as Capo Beach, is part of the city of Dana Point in Orange County, California.[1] It is bordered by San Clemente to the south and Doheny State Beach to the north. Capistrano Beach is one of the few remaining "beach towns" in Orange County. It has avoided much of the commercialization of the surrounding areas, and remains a unique and charming place with a "small town" atmosphere.
Capistrano Beach is situated along the coast on the southern end of Dana Point. Homes range from beach cottages to some of the finest real estate in Orange County. Many multi-million dollar homes can be found in the area, with some situated atop a cliff overlooking Coast Highway and the Capistrano Beach park below. Several celebrities live in the town area, notably on Beach Road. There are more modest homes in Capistrano Beach, namely older homes located off Camino Capistrano a little farther from the shore.
