Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Dana Point
Older beach homes and bluff-top houses share Capistrano Beach, and half the city dates from about 1979 or later. Newer homes mostly have factory-built or gas units, older custom homes may have masonry, and both take the same salt air right on the Pacific. Right on the Pacific, Dana Point gets plenty of marine layer in May and June, plus cool summers. A fault zone lies offshore, the bluffs have a history of landslides, and a 2022 fire burned next door in Laguna Niguel.
The Houses
On our Dana Point visits: Capistrano Beach older homes and bluff-top houses, factory-built or gas fireplaces in newer ones.

Which Metal
