A 2010 Return to San Clemente, California

24 November 201919 September 2024

My friend Dani and I decided to take a cruise out of Long Beach stopping in Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas.  While booking our flights, we decided to arrive in San Diego a couple of days earlier and drive up the coast.  I was excited that we would be passing through San Clemente and thought it would be a fun time to reminisce in my old neighborhood of SoCal.

We stopped at BeachFire Grill on Del Mar before we drove down towards the beach.   It was a cool evening as we set out towards the pier, enjoying the palm trees and beautiful skies.

We walked at the end of the pier and looked back towards the beautiful surfing town, waiting for the sun to set.

Towards the left were the more private homes high above the cliffs.

Facing south we were looking towards another popular surf area but with the colder weather and lower tides, it was no surprise that the beach was empty.

The sun was beginning to set and we had another hour to drive up the coast.  The pier was beginning to clear out as we stood along the beach.

Waiting for the sun to set was worth every minute and as we started the uphill trek towards the parking lot, we had one last view of the beautiful sky.  A view never to take for granted.

I was pleasantly surprised when I learned that they serve sushi!  I ordered a couple of Rainbow Rolls and a margarita….interesting combo, but delicious.

What to Eat:

  • Clamato is a local drink made from clam juice and tomato juice.
  • Damiana liqueur is an aphrodisiac made with cane alcohol, sugar and water.  It is a digestive liquor.
  • Mexican Chocolate Clams are roasted over stone and covered with rosemary.  You must try this!
  • Pitahaya  is a local fruit that is similar to Asia’s dragonfruit.  Growing on cacti, this fruit is also made into jellies, jams, spreads, candies and marzipan.
  • Shrimp and Fish Tacos are one of my favorite dishes to eat in Cabo.  The fish is so fresh served with cole slaw, salsa and veggies then stuffed into a soft tortilla shell
  • Smoked Marlin because I have never seen this anywhere else in Mexico.  Shredded and smoked, the marlin is served with cheese and veggies on a tortilla.
  • Tamales are corn meal stuffed with meat, tomatoes, chilis, while some have pineapple without chiles. The corn meal is then wrapped by a corn husk and steamed.  A favorite during the Christmas holiday.
  • Tequila, mescal and raicilla are alcoholic drinks. While most are familiar with the tequila and mescal (with the worm), raicilla is much stronger and has a smoky taste.
