Summer Returns To Normal In Dana Point In 2021

DANA POINT, CA — Summer is almost here, and one year after the onset of the coronavirus pandemic life in Dana Point is just about returning to normal, according to upcoming city activities.

One year ago, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the county of Orange shut down most activities. Even beaches were closed to anything but active exercise as local health officials struggled to find a solution to slow the spread of COVID-19. Now, as Orange County is teetering back to a more full reopening, health and safety measures remain in place as a large portion of our population has been fully vaccinated.

Memorial Day, May 31

On Memorial Day, the Dana Point Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9934 and the City of Dana Point will honor fallen Veterans in person, they say. City residents are invited to come and place flowers on the memorial and take part in the presentation of the Empty Boots ceremony.

Find the event at Pines Park on Monday, May 31 at 10 a.m. at 34941 Camino Capistrano in Dana Point.
