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

San Clemente State Beach

Reviewed By italianmoabite - Moab, United States

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.

San Clemente Coastal Trail

Reviewed By SenorPescado7

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.

We have rented bikes multiple times from this shop right near the metrolink station in San Clemente. We went as far as Oceanside and took the train back north (west?). A nice ride by San Onofre and thru some nice neighborhoods and Camp Pendleton.

I used to walk down the hill from the San Clemente Inn to the beach and then walk along the beach pathway to the very end and take the bus back to the San Clemente Inn. The beach pathway is really well maintained and safe and their are lots of well maintained bathrooms/washrooms. This pathway is incredible. I walked it almost every day.
