Secret Free Parking at Doheny State Beach

Spending a few days around Orange County in Southern California, I stopped near Dana Point. Parking at the beach in the OC can be a little expensive. I was surprised and lucky to find some free parking right near Doheny State Beach.
The free parking wasn’t as nice as the state parking lot, but the price suited me. And the views were just as nice. I spent so long enjoying those views, I forgot to eat. So to bulk up on some needed calories, I made an enormous cheese burger.

My name is Scott and in 2015, I bought a Ram ProMaster City to live in. Even though I didn’t know much about RV’s and campervans, I set about building the van out as a minivan camper. And in April of 2016, I moved into my minivan full time.
Over the years, I’ve learned you don’t need to have a big skill set to build your own campervan. And that living as a minimalist and utilizing solar power can be a less expensive way to live. I’ve also learned that a minivan can be a very comfortable home.

Right above that beach there’s a park with an epic view. Doris Walker Overlook. There’s also a street nearby with luxury apartments and vacation rentals that is ideal for stealth camping overnight. But don’t tell anyone.

In the mid to late 90s, I took my lunch break in that parking lot about three times a week. At that time, there was an actual large beach there, with an extra row of parking spots closer to the water from where you are parked. There were fire rings and palm trees, and a restroom building. Everybody wanted to live in the stretch of houses to the south of the parking lot along Beach Road. That is all gone now. The houses are being washed into the sea. The railroad tracks that have been there since the late 1890s will be next to go. It hurts my heart to see it all destroyed. If you want to see how it looked before, check out the address on Historic Aerials. On a happier note, if you drive up the road directly behind that parking lot, Palisades Drive, to the end and turn right, you will come upon Pines Park which is a lovely place to sit and watch the ocean. If you haven't yet, you can also park for free at the harbor and walk all around. There are good places to eat (think breakfast at Proud Mary's) and you can find Great Blue Herons nesting in trees near the Orange County Harbor Patrol. Your lunch/dinner looked delicious.

Thanks for the tips. As per usual, I am not in the area anymore. But if I ever get back there, I’ll check out the herons.

Hi there. I use Google Maps to find places like this. I often share the locations here on my videos and vlogs. Wherever you are at, simply look closely at Google Maps and you’ll find spots like this one.
