Welcome to San Clemente
San Clemente is the “Spanish Village by the Sea,” where red-tile roofs, palm-lined bluffs, and a world-class surf scene meet small-town charm. From the historic pier and beach trail to Avenida Del Mar’s cafés and boutiques, it’s a seaside city that feels both relaxed and refined.
The Neighbors
Surfers, families, professionals, and long-time locals who value beach access, good schools, and a close-knit community. You’ll meet dawn-patrol regulars, stroller crews on the beach trail, and neighbors who know the tide chart by heart.
What to Expect
Morning coffee on the pier, golden hours along the coastal trail, and weekends shaped by swell reports and youth sports. Expect lively downtown strolls, sunset dinners with ocean views, and community events that keep the village vibe strong.
The Lifestyle
Easygoing, outdoorsy, and surf-forward. Residents bike the shoreline, paddle out at T-Street, hike canyon trails, and catch concerts and markets by the water. Life moves at beach pace—healthy, sunny, and social.
The Market
Classic Spanish-style cottages, beach-close condos, and custom estates with ocean views. Neighborhoods like Southwest, Riviera, and Cyprus Shore offer coveted coastal living, while Talega and Marblehead bring newer homes, community parks, and golf course amenities.
You'll Fall in Love With
Sunsets over the pier, terracotta rooftops against blue water, and a downtown that still feels like a true beach town. With iconic breaks, scenic trails, and genuine community spirit, San Clemente delivers the quintessential Southern California coastal lifestyle.
