VIDEO. From the Pillar Point Harbor District meeting on May 4th, 2021.

Erosion at the Jetty (Surfers) Beach 7x greater due to the Army Corp of Engineers’s Pillar Point Harbor Jetty Outer Breakwater.

Shoaling is caused inside the harbor as all the watershed sand is trapped by the Army Corp Jetty structure.

Construction to begin in the spring of 2022 during eel grass growing season. Project will take 4-5 months.
