San Clemente's Ultimate California Bucket List Guide

SAN CLEMENTE, CA — What gets you about the Golden State, San Clemente readers?

Patch asked Orange County residents over Facebook: "If you were making the ultimate California Bucket List, what would be on it?" Our San Clemente readers were more than happy to share the good, the bad, and the ugly about our beautiful state.

Bette Rodrigues suggests that the local dolphin and whale watching tours are an absolute must-see if you're visiting.

It's been a tough year for just about everyone as California has struggled to rebuild the post-pandemic economy.

San Clemente resident Jennifer Chris suggested staying away "so long as Gavin Newsom is the governor."

As for those who love exploring California?

Yosemite is the ultimate bucket list place to visit if you are coming to California, according to Patch Orange County readers.

Mission Viejo resident Bryan Gifford also suggests that you should also take time to walk the John Muir Trail, see the sequoias, catch the powerful waves at Big Sur and Monterrey, as well as the stark desert beauty of Joshua Tree.
