01107 scanpix detail November 1983.jpg

I can't remember exactly what happened this particular year....
I guess they had piled up a huge mound of sand to protect the main lifeguard tower
And they had brought in the rocks that were later stacked in front of the wall....
It all sure looks strange!
Is the wall still even there?

I don't remember the year, '70something, but there were 3 huge El Nino storms - January, February and March. At the end of it all, this is what the whole beach looked like - lots of torn up chunks of bike path, rocks, and hundreds of old pilings exposed from the many pleasure piers of the '20s. All the sand got washed away. One of the public johns was left on pilings about 10 feet high. Dramatic stuff.
