The votes are in and Doheny State Beach has been chosen for the 15th consecutive year as the County's "Best Camping Site" in the Orange County Register's 15th Annual Best of Orange County survey. Doheny shares the honor this year with San Clemente State Beach. "Even when it's crowded, which is most of the time during the summer, Doheny's 62 acres of beachfront camping, picknicking and romping grounds feel open and friendly," says the Register's write up of Park visitors. Please bookmark this page for future reference.

Surfers will want to check out The Beach Information System for the results of the most recent water quality test at their favorite beach.

In the interests of saving trees and postage, the Doheny State Beach Interpretive Association's newsletters are now available here for viewing and printing. The Winter 2009 edition includes a message from DSBIA President Steve Stirrett, an update on the Aquarium, and other current features of interest. Please bookmark this page for convenience.	California State Parks has closed the Doheny State Beach Visitor Center until further notice. It has been the home of many aquariums and displays where Park visitors have been able to see and learn about the ocean environment. The Gift Store and Park Office have been relocated to the lifeguard headquarters on the beach adjacent to San Juan Creek.
