Ride Metrolink to the Surf and Bring Your Board

Two of SoCal’s best beaches, San Clemente Pier and Oceanside North Strand, are right next to Metrolink stations. Starting May 6, you can bring your surfboard on the train and avoid driving and parking stress and expense.

A Metrolink Weekend Day Pass makes it easy to get there for only $10. The pass allows unlimited trips on Metrolink all day either Saturday or Sunday. Download the Metrolink mobile ticketing app here or grab a pass at the station ticket vending machine. Learn more about the pass here.

All designated bike/board cars will have capacity to hold up to five surfboards in the surf netting carriers; no reservations are required, but the spots are first come, first served. These special cars can still hold six bikes. Click here for surfboard storage rules and instructions.
