San Clemente Pier Overlook

Make your way to Avenida Victoria and try to find parking close to the pier. Most parking spots are pay meters so make sure you pay attention to the time. Once you park, there's a small grass area on the west side of the street with benches that overlook the pier. This makes for a great vantage point. If you want a closer look, make your way across the train tracks via the pedestrian tunnel and you'll have access to the shoreline.
