About San Clemente

San Clemente, located in the southern part of Orange County, is a relaxed, casual beach town with a small-town feel. The town was founded in 1925 by Ole Hanson, who wanted to create a “Spanish village by the sea”. Today, downtown San Clemente has recently been revitalized and there are an increasing number of new boutiques and restaurants. San Clemente State Beach is part of the California State Park system, and offers park visitors a variety of recreation, including skin diving and hiking along the trails on the bluffs. There is a landscaped area at the top of the bluff for picnicking and enjoying the views. There are trails that lead to the beach, which is also popular for body surfing and swimming. The north end of the one-mile beach is a popular surf spot. San Clemente State Beach is located on the south end of the city, on I-5, at the Avenida Calafia exit. As of 2005, San Clemente State Beach offers SBC FreedomLink Service which enables park visitors with wireless enabled laptop computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs) to access the Internet.
