The place feels like time has gone by - not in a bad way, but in a way the world could use a little more of. The best beaches are here.
Downtown has a heart and a soul, with shops, boutiques and outdoor cafes.
Talega is made in this same spirit. Friends and neighbors stop to chat as they stroll along the palm-lined sidewalks of downtown's Avenida Del Mar, where fine restaurants and trendy boutiques sit alongside antique shops and art galleries. Del Mar is also the site of a weekly farmers market and monthly crafts fair. At the bottom of the street lies the crown jewel of Avenida Del Mar, the San Clemente pier. Surrounded by outdoor cafes and bistros, the pier has lured locals and fishermen since 1928.
