There is no timeline for reopening the area.
Now, a century later, campgrounds featuring RV hookups and restrooms could be found on the beach’s north side; to the south was a large day-use area with picnic tables, along with a bike path and a walkway. Of course, visitors could go for a swim, and there were designated fishing and hiking areas, as well as a visitor center. In short, there was no shortage of activity to be had at Seacliff State Beach.
Making up that debris, in part, are the many picnic tables and barbecues from the campground and day-use areas that were ripped out of the earth by the storm. The herculean task of damage assessment is ongoing, even as rains continue to pound California. Work to catalog the widespread destruction includes parks and campgrounds."I don’t think there was a park that didn’t incur some sort of damage," McKenna said, referring to Santa Cruz County and San Mateo County."This is really a broad scope we’re looking at. We just have damage everywhere."With that, it’s no surprise there’s no timeline for reopening Seacliff State Beach.
"I don’t have a crystal ball," he continued."I really don’t know. It’s too early in this process. This is very fresh. We just don’t know yet. We just don’t have all the info from our assessment." As destructive and powerful storms arethis week, crews must plan ahead for assessment and cleanup, he added.
The beach, like most along the California coast, is no stranger to severe weather. While it would occasionally be closed to visitors and campers in the fall and winter seasons due to the forecast, the combination of strength and speed of last week’s atmospheric river storm was unprecedented, to say the least.
