San Clemente

Situated at the most Southern tip of Orange County sits the quaint “Spanish village by the sea", where crystalline waters wash up against the jagged bluffs.  San Clemente, known for its laid-back surf culture, charming downtown and preserved Spanish architecture, is also a hub for world famous surfing events, boutiques and trendy restaurants.

WHAT WE LOVE IN SAN CLEMENTE

Restaurants

Fig 313: Built in 1927, Fig 313 stands today as an original historical landmark of San Clemente, with a history that is meant to be shared with its seaside community. Carefully constructed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, distinctive design features include red-tile roofs, white stucco walls, hand-crafted windows and arches, painted tiles, and open-air courtyards. With bistro tables and foliage centered around a cozy fire pit, the seasonal fare and creative cocktails will provide the perfect backdrop for a romantic quintessential California evening. 

Riviera:Located inside the San Clemente Inn and launched in 2022, Riviera aims to elevate the local dining scene in San Clemente by offering a unique culinary experience and design-driven atmosphere that’s equally exciting, creative, and worldly as it is familiar, welcoming, and inviting.

Owned and operated by two San Clemente locals, Riviera serves breakfast staples, vibrant lunch offerings, global-inspired main dishes, and decadent desserts. With its highest level of service, Riviera is the perfect place to dine morning, noon, and night – whether it be for a post-surf snack session, after-work cocktails and appetizers, or date night. 

Shops

Icons Of Surf:Icons of Surf was started in 2004 by avid surfer, Ken Mockett, to create a unique surf shop that celebrates the surfer, surfing and surfboard maker. With roots from the 70's surf scene and 30+ years of surfing experience, creating Icons of Surf was a natural evolution for Mockett. In addition to amazing surfboards you will find limited edition, boutique and iconic brands of  clothing, shoes, sunglasses, etc... with the same quality and unique style. You will not be disappointed and will quickly discover what makes Icons of Surf a "Surfer's" surf shop.
