Overview

About San Juan Capistrano

San Juan Capistrano is located in southern Orange County, with a population of over 35,000. With equal parts historical charm and modern-day amenities, San Juan Capistrano has a wonderfully mild climate, a quaint downtown area, and many historical sites to visit. The rich history of the town dates back to its establishment in 1776 and you can see it reflected in the Spanish colonial architecture that features prominently around the city. The San Juan Capistrano Mission is a wonderful historical landmark with gardens and a museum—a great palace to spend the day with family and friends.

If history isn’t at the top of your interests list, there are plenty of ways to get outdoors when you live in San Juan Capistrano. Take a hike in Caspers Wilderness Park, bike along the San Juan Creek Bike Path, see if you can spot some whales at Dana Point Harbor, or go bird watching in Saun Jan Creek Estuary. There are also many fun and interactive traditions including the return of the cliff swallows from their home in Argentina—they come to town and perch on the town’s historic buildings, giving residents their annual show.
