There is a "under ground passage to the pier (see photo" so please use! Yet, the easier route or walkway is the path to the pier crosses a train crossing (see photo) and also along the beach trails. Although a crossing guard comes down, folks still try to cross the track. I saw and thought these folks were crazy. Especially when they had children with them. Not exactly a good example:( So when you are down here, use the under ground passage please (see photo!

Amtrak train kills San Clemente pedestrian
By SEAN EMERY / ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
SAN CLEMENTE – A pedestrian was struck and killed by an Amtrak train on Monday afternoon, authorities said. Deputies shortly before 4:30 p.m. responded to reports of a train striking a pedestrian on the tracks near Camino Capistrano and El Camino Real, said Lt. Joe Balicki of the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
The pedestrian, who authorities have identified only as a 54-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators are interviewing witnesses, including the conductor, Balicki said.
Witnesses reported that the man walked onto the tracks before being struck by the southbound train, Lt. Dan Dwyer said.
Investigators have not determined whether the man intentionally stepped in front of the train.
The collision forced railway officials to close down the tracks for Amtrak and Metrolink traffic as investigators went over the scene, stranding some riders for hours. Several OCTA buses were used to transport Metrolink riders between the Laguna Niguel and Oceanside stations.
The death is the latest in a series of fatalities involving pedestrians struck by trains in the past year.
In July, August and September, six pedestrians were struck and killed by trains in North County. In October, a Capistrano Beach man was struck and killed by a train in Dana Point.http://www.ocregister.com/articles/train-381621-pedestrian-struck.html

Known by many residents but often missed by most outsiders is a gem of a cultural center just walking distance from the shore.
Casa Romantica is a beautiful 2 1/2 acre home that is a setting for small town artistic expression and entertainment. It is one of southern California's lesser known institution for exploring local ,state and national history. Vieweing the old Spanish charm of the architecture here is enough reason to stop by.
In Early Summer, there is a special exhibition honoring the recovery, especially at the World Trade Center after the tragedy of 9/11.
Casa Romantica has the only west coast showing of the exhibit Recovery: The World Trade Center Recoverry Operation!
415 Avenida Granada, 92672
See website for all events at the center.

Jtodd Says: Great place to start a bike ride up PCH heading north or down through San Onofre to the South. If you head south you can ride all the way to San Diego through Camp Pendleton and at least 1/3 of this ride is pretty free of auto traffic.

San Clemente is the quintessential sleepy, Southern California beach community, warm weather and great surf. No great nightlife just lots of sun, great beaches and Mexican restaurants.
