San Juan Capistrano by Bike

Bring your bike and extend your adventure. A great trail is moments from the station and takes you to the beach and beyond. This itinerary includes places to relax and take photos.


Itinerary

  1. Gear up with a latte at the Hidden Coffee House. A favorite with locals, and easily accessible from the train station, its doors open before the first train arrives.

  2. Cruise the San Juan Creek Trail to Doheny State Beach. The trail begins at the station, and takes you through the charming, historic Los Rios District. It extends to Doheny State Beach in Dana Point.

  3. Stay at the beach or continue your ride into the Dana Point Harbor, which is just north of the state beach.

  4. Have lunch at Shwack Beach Grill on Del Prado, a local hangout a block west of the Killer Dana Surf Shop. Their burgers will give you energy for the ride back.

  5. Retrace your steps or explore on your own. Just make your way back to the station in time for a quick drink at Trevor's Trackside Tavern patio bar. You'll find a great selection of beers and ales.

  6. Look for cool destination deals in San Juan Capistrano on our deals page.
