Guests ask for our recommendations for things to see and do.  Here are Freda’s Favorites..  All directions are from the inn:

Rainbow Sandal Factory – these trendy leather flip flops are the rage throughout the country and abroad and cost only $33 to $36 at the factory store - I-5 North to Pico exit in San Clemente, turn left. Turn left on Los Molinos. The factory is immediately on the left

New San Clemente beach trail – alongside the Pacific Ocean/train tracks from North Beach to South Beach (Califia State Beach)…wonderful walk (pet friendly for most of the trail).. From the inn turn right on Del mar and the trail starts at the pier

Sunset at the pier – locals love the bar side of Fisherman’s for happy hour appetizers and dinners and the best picture postcard golden sunsets in Southern California.

Walking the pier – nothing beats a walk on our grand old wooden pier for watching the surfers, folks fishing off the pier , beautiful views and just plain old people watching

Walking barefoot in the sand – San Clemente has some of the cleanest beaches in Southern California. We give up our Rainbow sandals temporarily for a leisurely stroll on the beach.

Historic Del Mar Avenue downtown shopping district- 60 shops a block from the inn on Del Mar; great clothing

Sunday Morning Farmer’s Market – on Del Mar from Ola Vista to Seville – fresh locally grown fruits and vegetables, flowers, orchid and succulent plants, potted herbs, fresh breads, and aromatherapy toiletries to boot.

Downtown’s restaurants, cafes and music at night – Ask for our recommendations for everything from fine dining to pizza and Mexican carry outs, all within walking distance of the inn.  Plus, Kevin Danzig (Freda’s husband) plays acoustic rock and modern folk at local restaurants and clubs just about every night of the week.  Check his schedule at www.kevindanzig.com.

Toby's House Thrift Store on El Camino Real - left on Ola Vista, left on Del Mar, right on El Camino Real...great Crate and Barrel offerings at seriously discounted prices

Local gardens – Freda is a member of the San Clemente Garden Club, and our little Spanish Village by the Sea boasts incredible gardens with native plantings and fragrant blooms of gardenia, star jasmine, geraniums and herbs such as rosemary, lavender, lemon verbena and more.  A walk through the streets of South San Clemente is a gardener’s dream.
