Review & FAQ:
San Onofre State Beach is a 3,000-acre park about 3 miles from San Clemente. It is one of the very few less developed and well-preserved San Diego beaches, with dense coastal sage, rugged sandstone cliffs looming above, and soft, white packed sand under your feet. The trail across the beach is more than 5 miles long, going and coming back, and it will give you a sense of going back in time to when the beach was full of sea lions and shells. Explore the tidal pools at high tide and enjoy the spectacular sunset, all part of this hike’s very nice experience.
