Coastal Commission Gives Nod to Dana Point Harbor Marina Redevelopment March 17, 2021 Updated: March 17, 2021 The California Coastal Commission has approved Dana Point Harbor’s marina development permit, allowing the $330 million harbor revitalization plan to proceed. The nod by the coastal commission was a victory for Bellwether Financial Group, the regional developer, global marina builder and operator who worked to garner approval of the mixed-use waterfront project. The permit allows marina developers working on the redevelopment to move forward with construction by the end of 2021. The 49-year-old harbor is getting a face lift that will include new restaurants, shops and hotels, as well as landscaping designs that will encourage locals and visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of the harbor.
