The Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors has resumed emergency beach erosion repairs along Westward Beach Rd Nov. 10 - 25. The work is a continuation of repairs to protect the Point Dume Beach parking lot access road from damage caused by high tides, higher sea levels associated with El Niño conditions, and powerful waves since the summer. The current phase includes repairs to 325 feet of the existing rock revetment.
The access road at the end of Westward Beach Road remains CLOSED to all vehicles. Pedestrians and cyclists may use the road except during active construction.
Westward Beach Rd and Birdview Ave remain OPEN, and the beach itself remains OPEN. Beachgoers should use extra caution, watching for high water, beach erosion, rough surf, and exposed rocks, and stay clear of active construction.
