San Clemente Tourism news
A three-star business class hotel and retail center is planned for the Marblehead Coastal area. It will include a 600,000-square-foot shopping center with ocean views, a 130-room hotel and conference center and 313 homes near the San Diego (I-5) Freeway between Avenida Vista Hermosa and Avenida Pico.
The city is in talks with the developer of The Lab and The Camp shopping centers in Costa Mesa for a 65,000-square-foot restaurant and retail facility in the North Beach area.
A meandering beach trail running from North Beach to Calafia Beach opened in February 2007. A second phase of construction to extend a boardwalk beyond Mariposa Point, create a beach underpass and install pedestrian crossing signals is still in the works. In all, the city expects to invest well over $12 million in the trail.
Locals have walked on an unmaintained dirt trail along the same stretch for years, crossing railroad tracks illegally at random points. The new trail, made largely of decomposed granite, enhances safety and includes access for people with disabilities.
About a year and a half ago, the city spent some $3 million refurbishing the downtown, adding landscaping and upscale restaurants, as a way to lure visitors.
