Trestles Beach
10 Salty Palm

We do security work at that beach twice a year. It's a stunning beach that isn't too crowded, but the main issue is the guys on bikes who don't stop for pedestrians.

San Clemente beach
10 Amarjit Singh.

The intimate and snug beach is a haven away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is a perfect spot to unwind and relax with your loved ones as it is not densely populated. The beach is an ideal location to spend quality time with your family.

North beach
10 Alden Rivers

This beach is dog-friendly and conveniently located right next to a train station. It's a small and relatively quiet spot to relax and take in the sand and sunset. Due to coastal erosion, the beach space is not extensive. There are quite a few unhoused individuals utilizing the tables, fire pits, and showers, but everyone seems to keep to themselves, so it's not a problem. Although it may not be the perfect beach, I still thoroughly enjoyed my time here.

San Onofre beach

This beach is renowned for its longboard surfboards, which have become synonymous with the area's rich surfing culture. The beach is steeped in surf history, both here and in other nearby locations. It's a must-visit destination for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the sport's heritage and experience some of the best waves around.
