San Clemente’s “signature” palm-covered umbrellas line San Clemente State Beach (.2 miles away - walking distance), providing a sense of tropical serenity to your visit as you relax in the shade. Volleyball nets and fire-pits for roasting marshmallows add to this beach’s charm. Be sure to take a walk along the historic San Clemente Pier where you will see fishermen casting their nets and if lucky, you’ll spot some dolphins or whales. Grab some clam chowder while at the base of the pier or stop by Fisherman’s Restaurant. Great surfing at this beach is a given. Note: Dogs are not allowed on the beach or on the pier, but there are great walking trails for Fido all along the beach. (See San Clemente Coastal Trail - directions) While on the walking trail, keep your eyes open for hidden painted rocks, painted by local artists! You might also find these hidden gems in Downtown San Clemente (see directions), the quintessential California beach town!
TRAIN STATIONS
Amtrak Pacific Surfliner (walking distance) - take train to San Diego or LA

SAN CLEMENTE COASTAL WALKING TRAIL
Just head toward the pier (0.2 miles away) and there is a trail adjacent to the train tracks that extends 2.3 miles (about a mile in each direction from the pier) along the San Clemente Coast.

I recently stayed at the Blue Whale rental property owned by Kevin, and I had a fantastic experience! The place was impeccably clean and offered all the basic amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Kevin and his family were incredibly friendly and accommodating, even showing us other available units. The highlight was the new rooftop’s stunning ocean view—truly breathtaking! The neighborhood felt safe and welcoming. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway! Thank you, Kevin!

Kevin and Jacqueline were very responsive to all of my needs and were always available. The ocean breeze and view were terrific! Loved the location close to the walking trail and the San Clemente Pier.
Loved my stay!!

Our family had a relaxing time at this apartment. It was small but had everything we needed. It was a close walk to the beach with the best view of the pier fireworks from the balcony! It was within walking distance of shops and restaurants. What more could you ask for! I would highly recommend this property!
