Readers of The Orange County Register have voted Doheny State Beach as the County's "Best Camping Site" for the 16th consecutive year in its Annual Best of Orange County survey. "A five-acre stretch of grass near the sand is ideal for picknicking, hiking and general recreation...[It] is the only park in Orange County that offers beach-front camping," says the Register's writers.

Surfers will want to check out The Beach Information System for the results of the most recent water quality test at their favorite beach.

Visitor Center Renovations in Progress

The Doheny State Beach Interpretive Association has partnered with Network for Good to securely process your online credit card donations. Your donations are vital to the completion of the Visitor Center renovations and other interpretive support of the California State Parks programs at Doheny.

Pardon our dust! The Visitor Center is closed and is in the 2nd phase of a 3-phase renovation. We are currently fundraising to complete the remaining work on the Visitor Center and interior tide pool and aquariums. We invite you to click on the DonateNow button on this page to see how you can help. The Gift Store and Park Office have been relocated to the lifeguard headquarters on the beach adjacent to San Juan Creek.
