Graduated from San Clemente High School. What a place to live. A tad expensive now. Going south it's the final city of LA/Orange County metropolis. South of San Clemente is Camp Pendleton that cannot be built on of course. Was just out there last week. Nearly 90° and surfers and sunbathers were out in large numbers.
LAX pilots can give the lowdown, but I drove to/from LAX more times than I can count visiting my parents and brother. The Google time is one thing, but south of where 405 and 5 intersect near Disneyland it's just the 5 and if someone screws it up it can be jammed up for a long time.
