Los Angeles CA— Cool off from the summer heat at some of Southern California’s most popular beaches. Take a ride on the world-famous ferris wheel on the Santa Monica Pier or have a waterfront lunch on the San Clemente Pier. Metrolink’s bike/surfboard cars also make it easy to bring your surfboard and ‘catch a wave’ in Oceanside.

How to get there:

  • Oceanside/ San Clemente Pier: Metrolink’s Orange County and Inland Empire-Orange County Line offer daily service to Oceanside and weekend service to the San Clemente Pier.
  • Santa Monica- Take Metrolink into Union Station and transfer for free to Metro Rail’s Expo Line to head to the Santa Monica Pier.
Fare:

$10 Saturday or Sunday Metrolink Weekend Day Pass offers unlimited rides and free transfers to Metro Rail and other easy transit connections. More frequent service is offered during weekdays at different fares. Up to three children, ages 5 and under, ride free with an adult using a valid ticket – each additional child pays youth fare.
