9. San Clemente Beach Trail
A great place to stroll alongside beach-side railroad tracks on compact dirt while looking at a sunset. You are navigating between sandstone cliffs and a 5-6 foot tall berm. The berm often blocks the ocean view, but that makes the small sections…More »
10. Pizza Port
In my induction to Southern California beers two years ago I went to one of the first Beer Festivals in Los Angeles. I was fascinated by the mural on one van that featured a wave crashing on a beach carrying a surfer on shore to a pint of beer.

God lifted up a small patch of New York City and placed it on the Pacific Coast in the town of San Clemente. The holiness of this action still lingers within the pizza crust baked by mortals hands in the pizza ovens of La Rocco's Pizzeria.
