Huntington Beach is in the
process of making history. The South Beach area improvements, from
Beach Boulevard north to Huntington Street, has already been
completed. This includes the repaving of the 650 space parking lot,
building of 30 inch sand walls as barriers to keep sand on the
beach, planting of 248 additional palm trees, replacing restrooms,
creating two plazas designed as sea shells to access beach from
parking lots, creation of an entranceway and monument at Beach
Boulevard, and a pedestrian bridge crossing Pacific Coast Highway.
Phase II of the South Beach improvements are well underway and are
expected to be complete in the fall of 2003. A new Marine Safety
(lifeguard) headquarters will be built. The old one will be
demolished, and in its place a new building will be constructed that
will meet the needs of all Marine Safety personnel. A new Junior
Guard Headquarters will be constructed in lieu of the current
trailer that is used by this world-renowned program. The new
building will accommodate an excess of 1,000 children participating
in the Junior Guard Program each year.
