City of San Clemente - City Hall Welcome to the official page for the City of San Clemente (the "Spanish Village by the Sea"). To visit our website, go to www.sanclemente.gov.

The City of San Clemente was named after nearby San Clemente Island by City Founder Ole Hanson. San Clemente Island was discovered by Spanish explorer Vizcaino who landed on the island on November 23, 1602 and named the island in honor of St. Clement's Day. Known as the "Spanish Village by the Sea" for its beautiful coastline and magnificent Mediterranean style, San Clemente is a city rich with hi

story and full of charm. San Clemente, founded on February 28, 1928, offers a little bit of everything rolled into one. San Clemente's residents live within San Clemente's 18.45 square miles and both residents and visitors enjoy recreation, history, culture, art, entertainment, dining, shopping, scenery, the ocean and 4.7 miles of beaches and so much more.

The catchment wall at Mariposa Point is beginning to take shape! OCTA and Metrolink continue to work on a project to install 1,400-foot-long catchment wall between El Portal and Linda Lane that will include restoration of the San Clemente Beach Trail in the area. Concrete work has begun, giving an early view of how the catchment wall will be designed to blend in with the existing coastal landscape. For more information, or to follow along with the project, visit www.sanclemente.gov/projects or www.octa.net/railemergency.
