FundaySunday Remote: Dana Point toward Oceanside
Old Highway Bike Path
Lets do it again! Ride along the beach through Doheny, Capistrano Beach, San Clemente, San Onofre, Camp Pendleton to Oceanside Harbor !
We start in Dana Point Harbor, ride down the coast as far as you want, then RIDE back (or go all the way & take the train from Oceanside part way back) !
The Short route turns back at the County Line,
Medium goes all the way & trains back to North San Clemente.
Long turns back at Las Pulgas (or sooner for less miles).
The Long Plus goes all the way down & back “EFI”.
The ride starts at the west end of Dana Point Harbor Drive in Dana Point. Park in either of the lots at the end across from each other, the one closest to the pier, or the other directly across the street.

Most of us do not hold a current BASE BIKE PASS from the USMC, so we will ride the freeway shoulder between Las Pulgas and Harbor Drive. It’s legal, faster, shorter, safer, but noisier. See Base Pass info here.
After-ride treat at Dana Point Harbor - We used to stop at the Scoop Deck inside Coffee Importers for a great ice cream… but they have MOVED and ar enow serving only limited ice cream and close at 3pm.
They open at 7, so you can get a bagel & joe before the ride! coffeeimporters.com
