Step outside Casa Tropicana Inn and onto the San Clemente Pier to enjoy a meal of fresh seafood and award-winning chowder at the always-hopping Fisherman's Restaurant and Oyster Bar. Just up the hill on historic Avenida Del Mar, in the heart of the Spanish Village by the Sea, are some of the finest dining establishments in Orange County.

Casual, continental fare set in an eclectic, art-infused environment can be found at BeachFire Bar and Grill, offering live music most nights of the week. Gordon James Grill, located in a renovated original Ole Hanson Real Estate Office, is distinctly American Contemporary with fresh seafood, prime Angus Beef, and an array of fresh pastas, bountiful sandwiches and crisp salads.
An intimate dinner for two can be enjoyed on the El Camino Real (the original California State Highway) at Iva Lee’s, where they have paired a wide variety of classic Southern dishes from New Orleans with live blues and jazz in the lounge, to round out their captivating atmosphere.
Before heading to the beach for the afternoon, consider a stop Billy’s Meats, Seafood and Deli, located at the top of Avenida Del Mar, a Local’s Favorite sandwich spot for 17 years. Featuring Boar's Head Meats & Cheeses, grab a bottle of wine, some of their fabulous pork and beans and a fresh-baked cupcake and just try to save room for dinner.
