Review:
San Clemente State Beach in San Clemente is a mile long narrow strip of sand in front of large dunes and railroad tracks below the rugged park with high bluffs, ravines, cliffs and forested hills. There are a few short hiking trails through the park, and in order to reach the beach, visitors have to hike down the trail and pass through the tunnel under the railroad track.
The north side of the beach is popular with surfers and the whole beach is great for swimming and skin diving. A nicely landscaped bluff top offers fantastic views of the ocean and coastal cliffs and has a picnic area with tables and benches.
