Top Ten Must Do's

  • Beach Trail Walk with a Bear Coast Coffee.  Grab some coffee and a treat at Bear Coast across from the Pier and walk miles north or south along the Pacific Ocean on San Clemente's famous (dog-friendly) beach trail.
  • Boogie Boarding is best at T Street (walk south from the pier until you see a pedestrian bridge over train tracks).  You can also drive (339 W Paseo De Cristobal, San Clemente, CA 92672). 
  • Fisherman's Sunset Happy Hour and the San Clemente Pier
  • Use our free bikes to ride to Dana Point down Pacific Coast Highway on a beautiful and safe bike trail (barricaded off from traffic).  To access, ride down Avenida Del Mar to pier, cross the tracks and go right (north).  Follow beach trail to North Beach, go beyond the train station and enter the bike path just beyond the bike shop.  Please be sure to sign our liability waiver. 
  • Casa Romanica is the historical home and gardens of the founder of San Clemente, Ole Hanson.  Ocean views, historic photos and a butterfly exhibit.  $5 but well worth it. 
  • Dana Point Baby Beach and Stand-up Paddle Boarding.   Baby beach is a protected cove with beautiful clean sand inside dana point harbor. It's also a great place to rent SUP and kayaks to tour the harbor.  https://westwindsailing.com/  Parking can be tough so go early.
