It was a very pleasant hiking experience. The sea breeze coming from the ocean makes the hike relaxing

We really stumbled upon this park. Our little cab over camper took us here and decided to stay 5 nights. There is a lottery system that we didn't understand but we were lucky enough to pay for 5 nights and stay. Showers and bathrooms are clean and staff helpful. Firepits and tables. A gorgeous beach to run a mile and a half to the Pier to the North and another mile at least to the south. The Pacific ocean is a magic element that is good for the soul. Thank you. Cannot wait to come back.

The bar menu and happy hour specials offer plenty of options and are really good. Best clam chowder around and the shrimp and crab cocktails are scrumptious. The restaurant offers the freshest seafood flown in from Seattle and other places. (Iv'e seen them unloading huge halibut and other fish off the back of an ice truck!)

Farmers market first Sunday of each month. San Clemente is a cross between a surf town with a feeling of a little bit of Europe thrown in. It is a favorite day trip with the market, pier, shops, and restaurants. Love visitng the art gallery across the green space from the library for beautiful local art shows on display.. Walking down Avenuda Del Mar to the ocean and pier is a great walk.

Park at the parking lot where Pacific Coast Highway heads into San Clemente and turns into Camino Real. Walk south and you will get to the San Clemente Pier and beach area. Stop at the fisherman for a libation or the ice cream parlor across from the pier and then head back north to your car. Best enjoyed at the end of the day as the sun is heading west.

I love Rainbow Sandals! I started with my first pair back in 2005 or so and I have bought several pairs since. I also have 3 pairs of loafers that are my staple for work and casually going out. I love how they are super comfy and form to your feet. I love the outlet because you can get some discounted slightly imperfect pairs.
