In the next couple of days, the contractor – Manson Construction will begin the process of adding 700,000 cubic yards of sand to the beach beginning just south of the Tide Park public beach stairway to the southern City limits.
The sand for the beach is being recovered from an offshore sand deposit offshore of the San Dieguito River mouth and brought via a dredge that will connect to a pipeline onshore.
Sand will be pumped as a slurry mix of seawater and sand and will be spread out on the shore to create a 150 wide new beach area.
The project will be repeated approximately every 10 years over the next 50 years for a total sand volume of 2.1 million cubic yards and the creation of almost 25 acres of new beach area for use by the public.
