Palacio Del Mar HOA
San Clemente is a city in Orange County, California. Located on the California Coast, midway between Los Angeles and San Diego at the southern tip of the California Coast, it is known for its ocean, hill, and mountain views, a pleasant climate and its Spanish Colonial style architecture. San Clemente's city slogan is "Spanish Village by the Sea".
San Clemente was among the first master planned communities built from totally open land in the United States. Before erecting a single structure on the rolling coastal hills, Ole Hanson laid out an expansive plan based on the Spanish Colonial architectural style including restaurants, a clubhouse, residences, public parks, a public pool, a fishing pier, and even equestrian trails.
In 1969, President Richard Nixon bought part of the H. H. Cotton estate, one of the original homes built by one of Hanson's partners. Nixon called it "La Casa Pacifica", but it was nicknamed the "Western White House", a term now commonly used for a President's vacation home. It sits above one of the West Coast's premier surfing spots, Trestles, and just north of historic surfing beach San Onofre.
Palacio Del Mar is a very unique neighborhood located on a secluded residential area up on the hills , providing incredible ocean and sunset views on a more peaceful setting, while still in very close proximity to our beautiful downtown and the very best of San Clemente beaches and surf spots. Most of the homes in Palacio Del Mar have either Ocean or Mountain Views. If you are looking for a small town feel by the beach then you have come to the right place. San Clemente has all the charm and personality of a small town, access to Orange County amenities and some of the most beautiful beaches in all of Southern California.
