This is a nice - usually pretty uncrowded and clean beach. You can go north or south and walk miles and miles before you run out of room.

It’s a great beach in a quaint town. Excellent large sandy beach. The waves were medium to large and breaking hard. Surfers were out and having fun.

Close to the beach right above the cliff. Has a great view of the sunset. Bathrooms and showers are clean. It is very developed and has a lot of people. Can get noisy at night. This is not one of those "nature" camping sites, rather a lively and family oriented campsites.

What a beautiful gem of a campsite along the beach. Coastal views amazing. Clean restrooms/ hot showers. Picnic benches and fire pits. Loved that it is literally located within San Clemente. Plenty of close by shopping and dining. Even ebike rentals. We saw riders on the sand. So fun!
