San Clemente del Tuyú, the northernmost among seven sea-side communities in the Partido de la Costa district, today counts 27 hotels (of which 14 are three or four-star establishments). The aquarium, adventure park and hot springs are complemented by two natural sciences museums, fishing boat tours and the 129 meter (400 feet) -long pier, among other parks and attractions. Punta Rasa, at the northern end of the city and the cape, was made a nature preserve in 1997. The activity around fishing boat tours centers around the black corvine feast held annually since 1966, towards December. The area's vast dunes also set the stage for the annual Enduro competition held here every February since 1998. A small but loyal contingent of visitors also arrives seasonally from San Clemente, California, a sister city of San Clemente del Tuyú since 1969.

The seven sister communities receive nearly a million visitors monthly during the peak summer season (January and February), of which San Clemente del Tuyú hosts roughly one tenth, given its proportion of the district's hotel room availability. A considerable number of summertime visitors also come to enjoy Benedictine monk Mamerto Menapace's sermons and lectures, which takes place at the order's San Clemente estancia and offers ascetic "pilgrim" accommodations. San Clemente del Tuyú hosted the Sixth Iberoamerican Congress on Environmental Education in September 2009

Al poco tiempo se inaugura la cooperativa eléctrica que abastecía hasta un horario determinado y a finales de la década de 1930 abasteció de luz las 24 horas del día.
En 1949 el presidente Juan Domingo Perón proyecta instalar en la localidad una base de submarinos, la ribera de la Ria San Clemente entra en jurisdicción de la Armada y se construyeron la Avenida Naval (hoy padre José Cardiel) y el camino al faro San Antonio, siendo ancha para optimizar el traslado de piezas de ensamble.

Sin embargo el proyecto no prospera dejando el legado de la gran avenida que optimiza la construcción de los barrios Brunachi, Juan XXIII, Itatí, Barrio Docente, algunas zonas del Barrio Cívico y el Barrio San Martín.

Los habitantes de San Clemente la siguen llamando «Avenida Naval», la cual si bien en los registros de Catastro de la Provincia figura como asfaltada, sigue siendo de arena.
