In 1928, a corporate entity of the American industrial giant Edward Doheny, who had built his fortune in oil production in Southern California and Mexico, purchased a number of lots in Capistrano Beach. Doheny's son, Ned, formed a development company, the Capistrano Beach Company, which included his wife's twin brothers, Clark and Warren Smith and Luther Eldridge, a contractor, to build a community of Spanish style houses.

Capistrano Beach was a community in an unincorporated area of Orange County. It was combined into the city of Dana Point when Dana Point became an incorporated city in 1989.

It is referred to locally as Capo Beach. The residential area consists of mostly custom single family homes ranging from moderate (by Southern California standards) to expensive (those located on or near the coastal bluffs).
