Strand Beach (Dana Point, CA)

07/27/2026 Today, I drove to Strand Beach. This is one of my favorite beaches because a) parking is free [Selva Rd] b) it’s walkable c) the proximity to the ocean and multimillion dollar homes is unmatched.

Let’s go to Strand Beach.
Sun hat couple for the grin.
Love a bridge to beach moment.
A concrete boardwalk.
Bird’s-eye view, lol. (I wonder if the love birds are on a roof-top vacation)
A little ocean look-step-pause (repeat).
Back to start. xo

My favorite memories here are eating breakfast at the beach, walking the nearby trail with my brother, and chatting with a lifeguard who lived nearby. Thanks, Strand Beach, for being accessible, unique, and picturesque. You will be missed. xo
