Capistrano Beach's charming small town atmosphere and myriad of recreational opportunities have christened it a viable vacation destination. Branching off from the city of Dana Point, “Capo Beach” is also bordered on by the vivacious Laguna Beach to the north and San Clemente to the south.

This makes for a great, uncongested stay.

Let Big Island’s significance as the birthplace of King Kamehameha I serve as a prelude to all of its wonders.

The area's natural beauty continues inland, where protected animal species take shelter among mangroves and narrow bayou bends.

Add all this to the most welcoming people in the world, and you can see why travellers love it.
