Core samples will be taken at 30 sites outside the surf zone between the San Luis Rey River and the Buena Vista Lagoon to find the best sand to replenish the beach
A contractor will begin testing offshore sand deposits along the Oceanside coastline next week in search of possible sources for the city's beach replenishment project. About 30 samples will be taken at depths up to 55 feet along an ocean shelf that extends from the mouth of the San Luis Rey River to the Buena Vista Lagoon, Oceanside Coastal Zone Administrator Jayme Timberlake said in an email. 'The boat taking the samples will be visible offshore,' Timberlake said.
In January 2024 the Oceanside City Council voted unanimously, based on the jury's recommendation, to award a contract to the Australian firm International Coastal Management for its plan called 'Living Speed Bumps.' The ICM concept calls for a pilot project that includes the construction of two small headlands about the size of the one that supports the lifeguard headquarters below the Oceanside Municipal Pier.
