Fisherman’s on the pier has a bar side and a more formal, but still casual dining side. The food is decent but it’s mostly fun to eat on the pier with the waves crashing below. We love the sourdough and butter that comes with your meal on the formal dining side as well as the gigantic mid pie for dessert. My guests love the clam chowder and bread as well.

This is the best sushi place in San clemente. They are all good but this is the best. Small restaurant so it might be best to order ahead of time and take it to the pier to eat on the outdoor tables. Grab a butter cake from nick’s next door and you’ll be set!

Walk to this bike shop from the house and rent electric bikes! It’s so fun to take down the trail, sand or to Del Mar to grab some food. You can rent for the day or for your week. We usually ride them down through the state camping park down through Calafia beach to get in the trail. Or you can bump them down our stairs to the trail as well haha.
