Serving All of San Clemente
San Clemente is a picturesque beachfront community that offers a wide range of attractions and events. The biggest draw for many, of course, is the western border of San Clemente – the Pacific Ocean. The gorgeous beaches and temperate climate deliver a relaxing and peaceful experience for inhabitants and visitors, alike. The city slogan is “Spanish Village by the Sea,” and it perfectly captures the abundant Spanish-influenced architectural touches that grace the city. Several of the newer communities in San Clemente are built in the Spanish Revival style and are quite exclusive.
