My in-laws live about ten minutes from the San Clemente beach, so it’s easy to get out the door and explore the area. T-Street beach is a pretty popular spot for surfing and where Brian and I had our lesson a couple years ago.

There’s a really nice walking path along the beach that stretches at least two miles. Some of the entries are a steep walk down from the main residential area. You can see there are houses precariously close to the edge of the cliffs next to the beach.

Eventually you get past the pier and on this boardwalk which was damaged from some landslides for the longest time, this was only my second time able to walk on it since I first visited in 2018.

I was able to snap some pictures of surfers from the pier.

And observed some Halloween spirit on my walk inland.

It is definitely cooler here than in Hawaii! And I’m often found in my sweater. Still not quite as cold as the Northeast.
