Important Travel &amp; Safety Tips
Fourth of July is one of the busiest days of the year in Dana Point—especially around the Harbor and Doheny State Beach. If you’re joining us, arrive early and expect delays when leaving after the show.
Helpful reminders:
<ul><li>Use the Dana Point Trolley, but note that service ends at 8:30 p.m. Download the City’s “Dana Point Connect” app in the Apple App Store or Google Play store or visit <a href="https://dptrolley.passiogo.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">dptrolley.passiogo.com</a> for the live trolley tracker and route information.</li><li>Park only in legal spaces.</li><li>Expect heavy congestion entering Doheny State Beach in the morning; lines often form overnight, so please plan ahead.</li><li>Scenic Drive closes at Cove Road as early as 6:00 p.m. for emergency access and will reopen after the fireworks.</li><li>Cove Road will be closed from 8:30–9:30 p.m. for emergency vehicles only and will reopen to support exiting Harbor traffic.</li><li>Help keep Dana Point clean! Additional CR&amp;R trash carts will be placed at busy intersections, trolley stops, and parks. Please do your part and dispose of waste responsibly.</li></ul>
After the show, significant traffic delays should be expected, especially when exiting Harbor lots or Doheny State Beach. Please allow extra time to get home safely.
We look forward to celebrating together and creating another memorable Fourth of July in Dana Point!
