...probably rate San Clemente Pier #1. Generally less busy than others, has good parking, and really good eating options right on the pier, but not as many options. They also put up a Christmas tree at the end of the pier (I don't think it's up yet), which is really fun. I'd probably say Newport #2 - it's much closer to Disneyland, has relatively good parking, and more shopping/restaurant options, but can also get really busy (don't go on the weekend). Then Laguna Main Beach #3. Bad parking options, but lots of shops and restaurants. I personally prefer other beaches, but these have the most shopping/eating options basically right at the beach.
