After hitting a snag earlier in the year, which came in the form of coarse and rocky sand that caused outrage amongst residents, the first phase of the beach replenishment projected has finally been completed in San Clemente.
With summer just around the corner, San Clemente residents are grateful that the beach restoration project continues to move along and soft, white sand has finally returned to their beloved shores. The project, which started in late 2023, aims to replace sand and widen the beach by up to 50 feet from an area that had previously eroded near the pier, down to just about 10 feet in some places.
'Congressman Mike Levin, who helped spearhead the project by securing federal funds to expand the beach's shoreline, was on hand at Friday's ceremony. He says that apart from the ample amounts of beach now available for visitors, the sand also helps secure the rail corridor heading through the area, which has been a constant spot of frustration in recent months because of the eroding land.
