Review & FAQ:
San Clemente State Beach is a spacious state-operated beach park located along a large sect of San Clemente lands, originally constructed between 1934 and 1937 by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the city's early 20th century expansion. The beach, which is located in front of railroad tracks and a section of sand dunes, offers great opportunities for surfing, scuba diving, and snorkeling, with lifeguards staffed on duty throughout peak months.
Several short hiking trails are offered within the beach park, along with tent and RV campsites for overnight stay. Picnic tables, fire pits, and restrooms and showers are also available for day use.
