Status of the OB Pier
OB Pier Replacement-current Status of the Pier. In order to assess the damage sustained by the Ocean Beach Pier during winter storms earlier this year, the City hired Moffatt & Nichol, a highly experienced marine structural engineering consultant. Moffatt & Nichol conducted a visual assessment and determined that while the pier had minor damage to its buildings, railings, and pump station, it sustained less structural damage this storm season than in past storm seasons. That means that while the pier continues to degrade over time, it is currently structurally safe to support public use.

The City of San Diego invites you to attend the second Ocean Beach Pier Renewal Project Community Workshop. Come meet the project team and share your ideas for what a renewed Ocean Beach Pier could look like.

Exciting News from LUMINOSITY FESTIVAL OF LIGHT
Dear OBMA Member, For close to 40 years, the proud tradition of Fourth of July fireworks off of the Ocean Beach Fishing Pier drew tens of thousands of spectators every Independence Day. Because of structural issues with the pier, the fireworks celebration ended in 2018. A change was needed. Many long-time community organizers have banded together to reimagine the Fourth of July with an innovative drone light show and festival of light. We have already contracted with an internationally known drone company, Skyworx, to bring a drone light show to the shores of Ocean Beach.

Dear OBMA Member, The Ocean Beach MainStreet Association’s Board of Directors has allocated seed funding for a Sidewalk Beautification Initiative. This initiative will begin in mid-April 2023 and continue for six months. EcoClean services will be powering-washing and sanitizing either the north or south side of Newport Avenue weekly as part of the Sidewalk Beautification Initiative. We’re thrilled to be able to provide this initiative with funds raised through events managed by the OBMA. With community and member support we hope to continue to allocate funding towards this initiative after the six-month seed funding timeline.

S.D. faces decision on what’s next for crumbling Ocean Beach Pier
The City of San Diego wants public input on whether to repair, rehabilitate or replace. For half a century, the Ocean Beach Pier has been a pillar of its San Diego community — for the fishers who have cast their lines over its rails, the junior lifeguards who’ve leaped from its platform, the locals who’ve watched Fourth of July fireworks launch off its decks, even the dolphins and pinnipeds who’ve swum through its base.
