Marblehead offers great views, tons of amenities and easy freeway access
San Clemente’s centrally located Marblehead neighborhood offers easy access to shopping, the interstate and the beach, along with some gorgeous parks and the San Clemente Metrolink Station. The confluence of amenities, modern homes and ocean views has helped make the neighborhood one of the most sought-after landing spots in San Clemente. The neighborhood is bisected by Interstate 5 into two areas, known locally as Marblehead Inland and Marblehead Coastal — also known as Sea Summit. The inland portion of the neighborhood has more of a suburban ambiance, while the coastal portion is a little busier and offers easier access to hiking trails, the beach, and the local shopping center. “It’s one of the newest neighborhoods in coastal San Clemente,” says Realtor Lisa Wilhelm of Coldwell Banker, who has lived in the area for 22 years. “There are nice rolling hills with views of the sea, and you’re really close to all the major spots in town.”

The Marblehead Coastal area in San Clemente is a 248-acre oceanfront development featuring luxury homes, public parks, and over four miles of nature trails, all set atop a coastal plateau with expansive Pacific Ocean views.
