Harbor Rebuild: What's Open
What the $600M harbor rebuild means in practice — what's open, what's closed, official and reported target dates, and where to park.
The county-owned harbor is midway through a $600 million rebuild, run by Dana Point Harbor Partners under a long-term lease with OC Parks and aimed at finishing around the 2028 LA Olympics. This page tracks what that means in practice: what's open, what's closed, and where to park. Where official target dates and independently reported ones differ, both are named. When the rebuild ends, this page retires.
The marina (docks and slips)
In force nowPhases 1-11 of the marina rebuild are complete; Phase 12 began in early summer 2026 (Supervisor Foley's office, checked June 2026).
The in-water work is the furthest along. The Fifth District Supervisor's office says the marina is on track for completion in 2028; boating press reported it past two-thirds done in early 2026. New East Basin docks have been opening for boater occupancy phase by phase.
