ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA — Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley commented on today’s announcement from the City of San Clemente to close additional portions of the San Clemente Beach Trail.
“I urge residents to avoid the impacted areas along the San Clemente Beach Trail as City of San Clemente staff continue to assess the damage from the recent historic rainfall,” said Supervisor Foley. “These closures are yet another reminder of our climate reality and the effects climate change and coastal erosion have on our communities.”
