Californias beaches are disappearing San Clemente could need 300,000 truckloads of sand as El Nio threatens an already eroding coast

San Clemente is experiencing significant coastal erosion that is diminishing beach space and threatening infrastructure. The city estimates a sand deficit of about 3 million cubic yards, requiring extensive transportation efforts. Coastal bluffs are unstable, putting homes and a major railway at risk from both waves and landslides. Local officials are exploring various solutions to address these challenges, considering both beach nourishment and possible relocation of the railway.
