Public Invited to Attend Grand Opening of New Moss Street Beach Access on May 17
The City of Laguna Beach is excited to invite the community to a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Moss Street Beach Access. The event is scheduled to take place on Friday, May 17, 2024, at 8:30 a.m. at the terminus of Moss Street at the beach.
The new stairs have been realigned to create new overlook points which enhance the viewing experience of Moss Point while traveling down the stairs to the beach. The improvements also include a new enclosed lifeguard tower. The tower accommodates a single occupant and will significantly improve working conditions for Marine Safety Department staff assigned to Moss Cove. The construction period lasted approximately eight months with a total construction cost of approximately $1,770,000.
A significant contribution to the funding of the Moss Street Beach Access Improvement was made possible by Senator Dave Min (D-Irvine), who secured $1,225,000 in state funding for the project.
