Doheny State Beach is a popular beach in summer with surfers, since it tends to offer more favorable conditions for surfers during predominant south winds. It has fire pits, bbq areas, and volleyball nets, along with a cafe. The calm waves make it popular with families, near the north jetty in summer. It’s also a prime spot for tidepooling.
The Vernal Pools are a unique type of wetland and environment. They are located adjacent near the entrance to Sano Surf Beach, and the Songs Plant. This is a unique protected area of vernal pools, and a habitat for fairy shrimp, an endangered species.
Just south of San Clemente, off Basilone road, you continue driving south past the powerplant toward San Onofre State Beach, where there is a campground, along with miles of bluffs, and trails.
