Things To Do
San Clemente Pier
This charming town is full of amazing restaurants, cafés, shops, and a pier you can stroll along. It features a beautiful beach perfect for relaxing, swimming, and surfing, as well as walking trails for walking, running, or biking. This is where William and I both used to live, where we first met, and where we got engaged! Our favorite café is Catarina’s, right across from the pier. Some of our favorite restaurants in town include Sonny’s (Italian), 9-Style Sushi, and Avila’s (Mexican).
Doheny State Beach
Doho is a great spot for longboard surfing, beginner surfers, and paddleboarding! Dana Point is also a wonderful place for whale and dolphin watching via boat tour. The Dana Point Harbor is perfect for a stroll and offers plenty of options for food and drinks.
Treasure Island Beach
Treasure Island offers some of the most incredible views! You can stroll through the park along the cliffs overlooking the beach or head down to the shore to relax and swim.
Newport Beach
Newport offers many fun options! There are great beaches to relax and swim at, and you can visit Balboa Island, which has plenty of shops, restaurants, and water sports. You can take a whale-watching boat tour or catch the sunset at Inspiration Point. Newport Harbor is also worth checking out, where you can kayak, paddleboard, or rent a Duffy boat.
