![]() (Photo by Leonard Ortiz, Orange County Register/SCNG)īear Coast Coffee: Founded by comedian-turned-restaurateur Jeff Clinard, Bear Coast Coffee, with two other locations in Dana Point, has rapidly emerged as the leader of the third-wave coffee scene (a movement in coffee emphasizing high quality beans and brews over pinky drinks and garish merchandising) in South County. Bear Coast Coffee is across the street from the San Clemente Pier Metro Stop in San Clemente. ![]() The Amtrak Pacific Surfliner also services the area seven days a week, making two stops at the San Clemente Pier in each direction. Please note that weekday Metrolink service does not stop at the San Clemente Pier Station however, four Metrolink Orange County Line trains and two Inland Empire Line trains stop in each direction on the weekends (12 total stops). Best of all, most of these venues are within a stone’s throw from each other. Riders stepping off the platform here will be rewarded with one of Orange County’s best small-batch coffeehouses and a handful of choice eateries. While this station drops passengers smack-dab onto the beach and a nearby dining area, only four Amtrak Pacific Surfliner trains per day stop at the station (two trains in each direction), with Metrolink’s Orange County Line and Inland Empire-Orange County Line stopping at the station on Saturdays and Sundays. Keep in mind that selected venues throughout the series are each within a reasonable distance of their stop, whether on foot or by wheelchair, with no major roads or freeways required to access the good grub waiting for you. ![]() Hungry?
