Where's My Map's video: Walk the beautiful coastal bluffs at DANA POINT HEADLANDS in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 4K Trail Walk

Walk the nature trails in The Headlands Conservation Area on the Pacific Ocean in Dana Point, California, with amazing views and a protected environment that is home to several threatened and endangered species. Along the way, we run into a couple of biologists observing humpback whales feeding miles offshore. We also take a look inside the Interpretive Center, with displays describing the protected plant and animal species native to The Headlands. The Dana Point Headlands is a coastal promontory rising from the Pacific Ocean, with Dana Point Harbor to the south and Strands Beach to the north. It is a unique habitat that is home to rare and endangered plants and animals. The Dana Point Headlands Conservation Area contains over 150 species of plants and animals that are native to coastal Southern California. Several rare and indigenous plant communities are found on the site, including; southern coastal bluff scrub, native grasslands, maritime succulent scrub, mixed chaparral, and coastal sage scrub. The unique setting and mix of habitats on the Headlands also provides a home for rare and threatened plants and animals. The Headlands are home to the Federally listed Pacific Pocket Mouse and Coastal California Gnatcatcher. A public trail system, approximately three miles in length, links all the conservation parks and public open space areas of the Headlands. The system includes pedestrian trails, coastal and beach access, scenic overlooks, and the Nature Interpretive Center.
