Route difficulty: ⭐️⭐️
This route has it all and is one of the most spectacular runs in southern California. There is a series of headlands and cliffs overlooking Dana Point and Strands Beach, with great views.
From the Salt Creek Beach Park parking lot (link for Google Maps driving directions in route), head north then down to Strands Beach. Push up the big climb and around the Headlands, down to a loop around Dana Point marina, and return up over Hilltop park to the start point.
