San Clemente is very bike friendly. If you have a warm sunny day during your stay, rent e-bikes here! Alex says wear your helmet!
Mission San Juan Capistrano
San Juan Capistrano is 15 minutes from San Clemente and a fun historic place to visit. The Mission chapel is a historic landmark and museum and known as the Birthplace of Orange County. Known for the return of the swallows. Stand in line for the BBQ across the street from the Mission chapel!
Pizza Port San Clemente
Pizza Port brewing company is in the Del Mar shopping district. Best beer and pizza in town!
Sonny's Pizza & Pasta
Best spicy ragu and pasta - get the wine carafe too. Best dinner deal in town!
Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens
Get lost in the gardens of Casa Romantica - right in the heart of downtown San Clemente, overlooking the Pier and ocean.
Aliso Peak Trail Hike
Not a strenuous hike, it is uphill, but once you get to the "top" the views are incredible and 100% worth it. You will park on West Street off Pacific Coast Highway. Also find your way to West Street Beach - 192 steps down to the ocean (and also back up!)
