About San Clemente State Beach

A release valve for the crazy crowds and competitive vibes down at Lowers, San Clemente State Beach is a fun (but not epic) beach break half a mile up the coast from the Trestles area. The lineup stays relatively empty, despite easy access and consistently surfable waves.
