 The easiest way to get to the long sandy beach (two miles long) is at the municipal pier. Take Avenida del Mar (which becomes Avenida Victoria) toward the beach; there's car parking (with long term parking meters) and beach access. At the beach are fire pits and barbeques, and a grassy area with picnic tables next to the car park. |

The beach is perfect for body surfing, boogie boarding and skim boarding. Also, walk north of the pier along the walkway (San Clemente Pedestrian Beach Trail) – among the rocks look for starfish at low tide. At Linda Lane city park is a small playground for little kids (swings) and a covered lunch area. |

Tip: – The train tracks for Amtrak run right along the beach here. It's fun to watch the train go by. Also, when going to the beach, use the designated beach access; don't run across the tracks. |
