35711 Beach Rd, Dana Pt, CA 92624

Where classic California lives forever by the sea. Preserved with care and perched directly on the sand, this mid-century beach cottage along Dana Point’s guard-gated Beach Road offers a glimpse into coastal living as it was meant to be—simple, soulful, and endlessly relaxing. Behind the seawall and the sound of the surf, original details tell the story of the home’s 1940s heritage: beamed wood ceilings, paneled walls, and a breezy open layout that connects every moment to the ocean just beyond the deck. Wide windows frame Catalina views, while natural light drifts across warm laminate floors and a palette that feels both nostalgic and current. Three bedrooms and two baths unfold on a single level, offering effortless flow from morning coffee to sunset gatherings. The kitchen remains open to the main living area—where family, friends, and salty air naturally converge. Step outside to the expansive deck and watch the tide roll in from your private stretch of sand—your front-row seat to dolphins, color-soaked skies, and the rhythm of coastal life. Situated halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego—but a world away—Beach Road offers a level of privacy and tranquility rarely found along the Southern California coast. Unobstructed front-row views focus on breaking waves and the azure Pacific Ocean, while Catalina Island, city lights, San Clemente’s pier, and Dana Point’s rugged Headlands draw the eye up and down the shore. Homeowners along this exclusive stretch own to the median high-tide line, creating an unmatched connection to the sand and sea. With a single-car garage and four-car parking pad, this is one of the few places where convenience and serenity meet at the water’s edge. Whether preserved in its current vintage beauty or reimagined as a modern retreat, life here remains centered on the sea—a rare opportunity to experience the heritage of true California beachfront living, timeless and always within earshot of the waves.
