San Clemente Beach Travel Tips

By Linda Samuel

  • Trek to Dije Beach—unless you have bad knees. Descend the steep stairway, cross the bike trail, pass the railroad tracks, and climb over large boulders to the ocean.
  • Peer into underwater nooks and crannies; lobsters, snails, and moray eels crowd the reef.
  • Multitask at San Onofre State Park, just south of San Clemente in San Diego County. Swim, camp, kayak, fish, and surf—then grill some burgers on the beach.
