Good place to hang out during summer and almost all year around. Good parking space available. People who do not want to walk or cannot walk have the golf cart facility at 2 dollars one way. Worth it when you are coming back because it is up hill and with a lot of stuff to carry it is a pretty...

Very pretty Beach, the bluffs are beautiful! Your Campsite sits on the bluff overlooking the ocean. Sites are clean and well kept, restrooms and showers were some of the best Ive ever seen on a campground. A++ on that! The walk to the beach pretty much sucks to be honest. Your walking down the side of a bluff so its...

As much as I love San Clemente, the pier, the hotel where we stay and the restaurants we've tried, I have to say the beach is not my favorite. But that's only because we find little to no shells when we visit. It's fun to walk along and watch the surfers, though.

I loved the fact that there was parking near the beach and we didn't have to carry our stuff too far. Just a nice family-friendly beach with nice clean sand and lots of dolphins when we were there!

a great, sandy, picturesque SoCal beach. We visited during the week and we had the beach to ourselves. Parking is ample and inexpensive. the beach is very clean and feels very secluded, one of our favorite places.

Love the views from that gorgeous cottage at this beach; would make a stunning wedding venue. Many guests who stay at Always Inn have friends and extended family who camp at the beach, and rave about it.

This a great SoCal beach to visit and hang out for the day. There are typical fast food type places at the base of the pier, life guards on duty during the summer and separate areas for board surfers and body surfers/boogie boarders.
The paid parking was close to the pier and a reasonable price. We arrived somewhat early so...
