Summary

Heavy surf from a series of storms since early September has caused significant damage to the historic Long Beach boardwalk, with a section collapsing between 64th and 65th Place on Seaside Walk. The boardwalk is shredding away and homes are being impacted severely, with coastal homes red- and yellow-tagged due to storm damage. Long Beach is taking emergency measures to secure the boardwalk and has designed a seven-point plan to address the damage, with permanent repairs to the bulkhead and boardwalk expected to be completed by the end of the year at an estimated cost between $1.5 million and $3.6 million. Flooding has affected parts of the Peninsula as tropical weather from the Pacific, including Hurricane Rachel and remnants of other storms, brought heavy rainfall to the region.
