Flight
The closest and most convenient airport, about 30 minutes away from San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente.

Los Angeles (LAX) is roughly 1.5 hour drive depending on traffic. LAX has better public transit options and the Metrolink train is an option if you will not be renting a car. However, it is highly recommended to rent a car.

San Diego (SAN) Airport is roughly 75 minute drive to San Clemente depending on traffic. Renting a car is highly recommended.
Train
The Metrolink is a fun way to get from San Juan Capistrano to San Clemente and even Carlsbad in North County San Diego (they are repairing that leg at the moment). It can even take you to and from Los Angeles Union Station in downtown LA.
Travel Note
Southern California is not known for great public transportation options. If you are coming from out of town, it is recommended to rent a car. You can also use Uber or Lyft.
