About this beach
San Clemente State Beach is at the south end of San Clemente, at 225 West Calafia Avenue off I-5. Calafia State Beach sits right beside it on the same access road. The City of San Clemente runs the sand to the north, including the pier and T-Street.
Camping
The campground has RV hookup sites, tent sites and group sites; RVs and trailers up to 30 feet. Seven sites are wheelchair accessible. Book through Reserve California.
Beach trail
The 2.3-mile Multi-Use Trail runs from Calafia Beach to North Beach, past T-Street and the pier. Walking, jogging and biking are allowed; e-bikes aren't. The trails down the bluff are steep.
Rules
Bonfires only in the designated fire rings (no makeshift pits). Propane grills must be at least 18 inches off the ground and, on the beach, behind the lifeguard tower line. Pets aren't allowed on the sand or in the water; leashed pets are OK in the lots and on the trail. No alcohol without a permit, no enclosed tents and no drones.
Getting there & access
