The San Clemente Beach Trail is one of the city’s most loved coastal treasures, stretching nearly three miles along the ocean from North Beach to Calafia. Hugging the shoreline and the train tracks, it offers walkers, joggers, and bikers sweeping views of the Pacific, crashing waves, and the iconic pier.

The trail is dog-friendly, making it a favorite for locals who enjoy bringing their pups for a seaside stroll on leash. Along the way, you’ll find convenient access points to sandy beaches, lookout benches perfect for catching sunsets, and even casual stops like the West Toast Café near the pier, where you can grab a coffee or bite to eat before continuing your walk.

Whether you’re out for exercise, family time, or a relaxed outing with your dog, the San Clemente Beach Trail blends the town’s laid-back charm with its natural coastal beauty.
