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!)

For only $5 you can tour the home of Ole Hanson, the founder of San Clemente. The home's design is a perfect match for the landscape. The rooms are bright and open, the pocket doors in the courtyard let in the sea breeze. Ole's office has great views of the ocean and the pier. There are historical displays of neighboring cities like Venice and Huntington Beach, the history of surfing and Indiginous People history. It was all very informative and interesting. A great way to spend an afternoon.

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.

Lots of cozy shops and restaurants to stroll in this beautiful weather. Architecture is Spanish and lovely. Look for the hidden, painted rocks that are hidden by local artists.
