San Clemente
San Clemente is a city located at the southern tip of Orange County, halfway between San Diego and Los Angeles, in Southern California. This old fashioned town, along with its pier, was developed by Ole Hanson during the “Roaring Twenties” as he sought to create his vision of a “Spanish village by the sea”. Its picturesque 1200 foot pier is located over a sand beach, nestled within the gentle waves of the Pacific Ocean, and is a great spot for surf fishing, spiny lobster, and offshore kelp beds. The city itself is built on billowy hillsides overlooking the Pacific onto some of the most breathtaking and majestic coastal views imaginable. San Clemente offers 20 acres of sand beaches including the San Clemente State Beach. Its perfect surfing waves, sandy cliffs, and picnic and camping areas located atop the coastal bluffs, attract both water sports aficionados, families, and anyone looking for an exhilarating beach experience in a tucked away getaway.
The city’s Spanish architecture theme, combined with plenty of sunshine and ocean breezes, give San Clemente a small Mediterranean town atmosphere. Downtown San Clemente invokes images of a Spanish village while Spanish style homes, condos, and other real estate, sit elegantly upon coastal bluffs, along the golf course, and throughout the city, adding to its defining charm. San Clemente also offers fantastic shops and boutiques, amazing restaurants, a new coastal trail, a newly revitalized historic downtown district, and plans for a beautiful new shopping center, and business hotel. San Clemente has excellent schools, and incredible social activities such as blue whale watching tours and annual festivals like the San Clemente Street Fiesta and Ocean Festival, complete with a boat and lifeguard competition, pancake breakfast, art show, and surfing and sandcastle contests. This charming city, with it near perfect year round weather, waterfront and beach view real estate, and thriving business community, offers an alluring opportunity to work, live, and play. San Clemente exudes a truly vibrant spirit of a “Spanish village by the sea” that attracts visitors who long to stay and residents who never want to leave.
