Description
It's supposed to be sunny and happy in southern California. That's why this scene appeals to me so much, it's much more stormy and moody. A few minutes after this was taken, the surfers hit the scene to catch some waves before work/school. This is San Clemente pier, a 1,296-foot long pleasure pier featuring spectacular Pacific Ocean views. San Clemente Pier is located at 611 Avenida Victoria, San Clemente, California. In 1928 the 1,200 foot long wooden Municipal fishing and pleasure pier was constructed at no cost to local citizens. In 1939, and again in 1983, strong storms damaged the pier requiring it to be rebuilt. A bait and tackle shop, restrooms and a restaurant greets visitors at the entrance to the pier. The pier itself is located near the end of Del Mar Street. Amtrak trains run adjacent beach, providing drop off for coastal travelers. To me this is one of the more scenic piers because of the hills of San Clemente providing a pretty backdrop.
