Not really a community unto itself, Capistrano Beach is zoned within the region of Dana Point, and nearby attractions such as Dana Wharf, the whale watching tours, harbor, festivals, and Doheny State Beach all provide easy access for tourists booking hotel rooms in "Capo", or Capistrano Beach.
Gettting there is an easy and quick exit off the San Diego Freeway (5). From its prime location, you're nearly equal distance between Legoland theme park in Carlsbad, and Disneyland Resort theme parks in Anaheim.
