What To Do
Your non-playing significant other might enjoy the harbor and harbor shops across the street from the bridge club. Another fun place is the San Clemente shops on Del Mar street, the one that runs from the center of town down to the pier, very nice if the weather is decent. And, of course, you are very close to San Juan Capistrano’s Mission, plus the village has a large antique mall. In addition, there is a large shopping mall a few miles north in Mission Viejo just off the 5.
Where to Eat
We will try to have a list of suggestions ready when play begins.
