San Clemente
is tucked away in the hills of Orange County, overlooking the Pacific Ocean between Los Angeles and San Diego. Known as “The Spanish Village by the Sea,” San Clemente’s architecture is all white stucco and Spanish tile roofs set against the blue ocean and surrounded by colorful flowers and lush palms. San Clemente has some of the most beautiful historical buildings in the west and visitors will want to be sure and visit the Casa Romantica as well as the town’s two historical museums. San Clemente boosts over 300 days of sunshine per year and an average temperature of 70 degrees, making it ideal for swimming, sunning and playing on the beach. And, San Clemente offers only the finest in restaurants and hotels, with hundreds of places to shop, eat and drink and relax. There are many special events held in San Clemente throughout the year, including the annual Classic Car Show, usually held in June. Other special events include an outdoor summer concert series, the annual San Clemente Ocean Festival usually held in July, an Ocean Art Show with a sand sculpting competition and in the fall, the San Clemente Seafest at the Pier. In San Clemente, you will be near all of the other Orange County attractions, yet feel as if you have traveled very far to reach this magnificent village by the sea!

San Clemente Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
The Southern Pacific coastline, between Los Angeles and San Diego, enjoys some of the most beautiful weather in the state year round. This region boasts over 300 days of sunshine per year, balmy days and cool evenings %u2013 perfect for beachcombing, tennis, golf and other outdoor activities. The rainy season runs November through early April, with dry conditions and low humidity the rest of the year. It%u2019s not unusual to go all summer with no precipitation at all. Low clouds and fog are usually present right along the coastline on warmer summer days, but clears up by early afternoon. The summer heat is moderated by cool ocean breezes, but keep in mind that as you travel inland away from the cooling effect of the ocean, the temperatures rise (although not to uncomfortable levels.) Thunderstorms in this area are infrequent and light.
