City of San Clemente

I have to say that I really do like San Clemente. To me, it is the San Diego of Orange County. I discovered the town when I took my kids on Amtrak and the train stopped at the picturesque San Clemente Pier. It looked like a great place to explore and the next time we took another train trip, (my son LOVED trains!) it was to San Clemente.
What I like about this place is that it seems wholesome and family-​oriented. The downtown business district is very nice with some great shops and restaurants. The Spanish-​style architecture is lovely and it is very easy to enjoy recreation along the area beaches, although a lot of high rise condo’s do crowd the shorelines. The county incorporates ocean, hill and mountain views and the city slogan is «Spanish Village by the Sea.» In Fact, the predominant architecture of San Clemente is Spanish and it lends a very gracious Old World charm to the town.
According to Wikipedia, San Clemente is located, «midway between Los Angeles and San Diego at the southern tip of Orange County. One fact that might tempt me to deduct Unilocal STARS from this review is that the majority of voters here in San Clemente are Republican. But I will overlook that fact as simply a by product of being a part of Orange County.
Despite the heavy dose of conservatives living in San Clemente, the saving grace is most definitely that San Clemente catches swells all year long. Down near San Diego, there is the world famous Trestles which Wikipedia says is «technically just south of the city line.» Lowers, Middles & Uppers, Calafia, Riviera, Lost Winds, The Hole, T-​Street, The Pier, Linda Lane, 204, North Beach and Poche Beach – all are popular and knarly surf spots.
San Clemente also happens to be able to boast of being the surfing media capital of the world as well as a bitchen surfing destination. It is home to Surfing Magazine, The Surfer’s Journal, and Longboard Magazine, with Surfer Magazine a few miles north near San Juan Capistrano. The well-​respected non-​profit environmental group Surfrider Foundation has it’s main office in San Clemente. If I ever had to move north for any reason, the first place I would go is San Clemente. See for yourself what a great little town it really is.

AMAZING beach town in Southern Orange County. Ideal town to spend a day of relaxation and an evening with just the perfect romantic setting. There is so much to do in this town. From dining, to bar hopping to enjoying the sun at this towns amazing beaches, you are sure in for a treat. This sitting is amazing for walking around and enjoying the various stores and and grabbing a delicious bite to eat in the many wonderful restaurants. Seriously you will keep coming back to this amazing city as there is so much to do. The San Clemente pier is one of the best in the OC with various benches throughout so you can sit a watch the amazing Pacific Ocean, in fact you can catch a glimpse of the ocean from just about any street in this city, the view is absolutely mesmerizing. My favorite is buying a cup of coffee and enjoying a nice relaxing walk through their Downtown area. Seriously always something to do in this beautiful city. Absolutely love San Clemente.
