OCEANSIDE PIER REPAIR UPDATE:
The City awarded an engineering design contract
to develop plans to rebuild the damaged Pier's
west end. Design documents are expected to be
completed by September, with construction bids
to follow, and work beginning as early as April 2027.
The City expects to reopen the Pier's end once the structural repairs are complete, before the restaurant is rebuilt. 90% of the Pier is currently open.
Enjoy a walk soon!
