Things To Do

Downtown San Clemente's main street.

Del Mar is the heart of Downtown SC. Great food, fun shopping. Perfect place to walk around, and the beach is less than a five minute drive. On Sundays, from 9am - 1pm there is a farmer's market that's fun to stroll through.

San Clemente Pier

Great place to have a beach day, with some restaurants at the beginning of the pier if you're in the mood for dinner with a sunset view.

Talega Golf Club

To be honest, neither of us golf, but this is a beautiful course and we've heard great things from people who actually know what they're talking about.

Beach Trail

Beautiful walking trail along the beach. You can pick it up at the San Clemente pier or Linda Lane.

Ellie's Table At North Beach

Perfect place to grab coffee and breakfast! The beach is right across the street, so you can take it to go and enjoy breakfast with a view.

The Cellar

Relaxed but sophisticated spot that's known for their wine and cheese, but all of their food is fantastic!

South of Nick's Mexican Kitchen + Bar

Located right at the top of Del Mar. This is a go-to spot for refined but authentic Mexican food, or killer margaritas.

Vine Restaurant & Bar

If you wanted to have a special date night, this place won't disappoint.

Dana Point Harbor

Mike grew up right down the street, so we've spent a lot of time here. The harbor is beautiful, with restaurants and a few little shops. You can walk along the docks or hang out at Doheny Beach.

Dana Point Bluff Top Trail

Beautiful walking trail overlooking Dana Point Harbor. Amazing view!

Craft House

They do a little bit of everything, and they do everything well!

Two Left Forks

The Shwack Beach Grill

Burger joint with local craft beers. Super casual, no need to get dressed up.

Mission San Juan Capistrano

Historic Spanish mission built in 1776. Beautiful place to walk around, even if you're not a history buff.

Los Rios Historic District

Downtown San Juan Capistrano is a fun place to spend an afternoon. There's lots of great food in the area. Mike and I love Guapas Tapas down by the train tracks. Get the sangria!

Main Beach in Laguna Beach

The heart of Laguna Beach. Beautiful boardwalk along the beach, with tons of fun shopping and places to eat right across the street.

Top of the World in Laguna Beach

Beautiful place to hike, or just sit in your car and watch the sunset.

Disneyland Park

Disneyland is about a 45 minute drive (on average) from San Clemente. Super easy to get to! Worth the experience no matter how old you are. If you go to California Adventure, which is separate from Disneyland but in the same location, you'll love that just as much.

Anaheim Packing District

Foodie heaven!

The Bagel Shack

Best bagels in San Clemente!
