San Clemente State Beach
Jim Benton
Mile-long coastal bluff and campground dropping to a sandy beach with surf breaks, rocky outcrops and a classic Southern California pier nearby. Best for sunrise/sunset seascapes, long exposures of waves around boulders, and night-sky shots from the dark campground. Access requires a steep trail and train-track crossing to reach the sand; paid parking and campsites on site. Weekdays and early mornings reduce crowds; check tide charts and red-flag advisories for safety.
