The familiar restaurant located off the freeway in San Clemente is a cool representation of the iconic diners that used to be found everywhere. It is a true survivor of mid-century design and Googie inspired architecture. The sign alone is something to behold with its original and unusually shaped design intact from a bygone era. Every time I see it, I know that I'm home and that the beach is near.

The taco stand located in North San Clemente is a great example of 1950's architecture. It begs to be noticed with its bold color palette of teal and cream colors. The angular front sign is truly eye catching and makes the building very unique. No surfing session is complete without a Pedro's visit.

Another great example of Googie inspired architecture. Norm's restaurant has a clean, diagonal red roofline and sharp angles to compliment fine examples of brightly, polished glass and steel surrounding the building. The combination colors of blue, red and orange really make it stand out. A friend pointed this one out to me.

Beautiful mid-century designed building with glass windows making up most of the front. A real gem not be missed with an array bright colors surrounding its incredible low profile design structure.
