The Oceanside Sand Nourishment and Retention Pilot Project – Phase 2 - RE:BEACH is well underway!
RE:BEACH is a Coastal Resilience Competition bringing together 3 design teams from around the world to develop innovative sand retention pilot projects for the City of Oceanside. Only 1 team, and their winning design, will be selected to move into final engineering and permitting at the completion of the competition.
Come out and be a part of the process this Tuesday at the first of three public workshops where you can hear firsthand from the three design teams about their designs and approach to restoring resilience to our shoreline!
It's time to get ready for the first public workshop by RE:BEACH!
Check out this information about the three design teams you will have the chance to meet this August 29th and be sure to RSVP at REBEACH.org. We hope you can make it!
This global design competition consists of three talented teams coming to Oceanside City Hall on Tuesday, August 29th, 4-7pm. They will bring forward the most innovative, multi-beneficial, and feasible solutions to preserve sandy beaches in Oceanside. They need us to help provide feedback to ensure the best designs are considered to RE:SAND and RE:STORE our beaches. This workshop will allow you to collaborate with the design teams and provide input on their initial ideas before they move on to the next round of designs.
Check out this information about the three design teams you will have the chance to meet this August 29th and be sure to RSVP at REBEACH.org. We hope you can make it!
Save the Date! 8/29 @ 4pm for the 1st Public Workshop by RE:BEACH.

The Coast Line - SOS Newsletter - Summer 2021
Sand is a precious commodity on Oceanside beaches. The City Council unanimously voted 2 years ago to pursue and fund an engineering study to restore area beaches. A thorough evaluation process ranked characteristics of each of the options to conclude that a groin field best suits the conditions in Oceanside. Lead engineer Brian Leslie from GHD suggested that a pilot project of 4 groins be installed and monitored along the South Strand to establish their effect on sand retention.
