Getting Outdoors

When someone mentions Southern California, the pristine beaches and intense winds come to mind. It would be crazy to complete a tour of the region without pointing your RV rental towards the coast. The four-mile coastline is divided into a couple of popular beaches including the San Clemente City Beach, North Beach, and the San Clemente State Beach. Some of them are fully equipped with amenities to make your swimming experience memorable. After getting enough of beach wading and snorkeling, why not try some more intense stuff, such as surfing or skin-diving for lobster.

At the heart of city beach stands the San Clemente Pier, a must see whenever you’re in the area. Stretching out for more than 1920 feet into the Pacific, it is one of the longest of its kind in Southern California. The pier and its famous clock tower offer picturesque views of the city and the ocean both during the day and at night. Being a common fishing spot, it’s common to see anglers lining the sides as they try out their luck. Summer, howeve,r is the real deal. If you don’t do well in waters deeper than a bathtub, you’ll enjoy watching the fearless surfers catching some massive waves. Be sure to pack an action camera into your San Clemente camper rental for some incredible shots.

It’s hard to have a memorable vacation without some hiking. Since the trails aren’t long, the whole family will get to enjoy some hours in the sun exploring the bluffs along the beach. More experienced hikers will love the San Clemente Coastal Trail which winds down the coastline for five miles from the North Beach Train Station to the San Clemente State Beach. Apart from the fact that its pet-friendly, the trail even has pet hygiene stations along the way, not forgetting restrooms for humans. If you’re up for a romantic walk, take your better half out for a walk during the cool starry night.
