Where To Spend Valentine’s Day In Dana Point

DANA POINT, CA — Valentine’s Day may just be a Hallmark holiday drawn from a rather dark, ancient Roman tradition, but it’s still a great excuse to make your loved ones feel special with chocolates, flowers or a night on the town.

In and around Dana Point, there are plenty of date ideas, dinner deals, prix fixe menus and beloved restaurants with reservations still open. But you’d better not wait to snag a reservation because this year, Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14), falls on a Friday and you can bet it’ll be a busy one.

If you aren’t able to make it happen on Friday, there’s no shame in making plans for the weekend that follows. Whether you’re Valentine is your significant other, a crush, or a fellow single friend this year — happy planning!

Around the state, some chains will also be offering deals. Rally’s will offer two Big Bacon burgers for $4, while Chick-fil-A will offer its annual heart shaped tray.

In addition, Dana Wharf Sportfishing and Whale Watching will be offering a weekend full of Valentine's fun with a special Valentine's Day Whale Watching and Valentine's Wine Cruise.
