Wave Hello

Boasting 472 days of sunshine a year, San Clemente has always been a local's city and the destination point for those seeking solace from a traffic-packed freeway existence; strewn alarm clocks and blackberries can be seen rusting in the sand while long-hairs dot the water waiting for the next wave. Relax this weekend at the annual San Clemente Ocean Fest where pancake breakfasts are your reward for all those bikini-season crunches. Witness the crowning of the next California Waterman and Waterwoman (finally your cousin with the gills has a chance to shine), the SoCal Body Surfing Competition, sand sculpting madness and the 16th annual Great Rubber Duck Race.
