Waves Reach New Berm As Peak Tide Hits Battered Peninsula

Driving onto the Peninsula is limited to residents, with the checkpoint near 62nd Place. Officials are asking everyone else to stay away from the Peninsula between Bay Shore Avenue and 72nd Place and off the sand berms. Residents on Naples and Treasure Island are under an evacuation advisory and have been told to keep go-bags ready.

The city has started moving about 45,000 cubic yards of sand to widen the beach by roughly 200 feet, with a larger project due to begin the week of October 19. More than 11,000 sandbags have gone out to residents, with pickup sites at fire stations across Long Beach.

Saturday brought more of the same. Waves rolled over the seawall near the Alamitos Channel and the boardwalk behind it, washed away sections of the sand berms built after Friday, and left debris floating offshore. Crews used a crane to set 30 sandbags weighing 3,000 pounds each against the damaged bulkhead at 64th Place.

Inspectors have red-tagged eight buildings covering 13 addresses on the 6400 and 6500 blocks of Seaside Walk, meaning they are unsafe to enter. One more building is yellow-tagged. Those two blocks are under a mandatory evacuation order; a warning covers 64th, 65th and 66th Place south of Ocean Boulevard and the 6200, 6300, 6600 and 6700 blocks of Seaside Walk.

This is the third round of damaging surf on the Peninsula in two days. On Friday, waves broke through the bulkhead behind the wooden boardwalk between 64th and 66th Place, a stretch left exposed when Hurricane Marie stripped away its sand last month. Water poured through onto side streets, where residents waded through shin-deep flooding, and one home on the 6500 block of Seaside Walk was left close to collapse.

Waves are reaching the base of the new sand berm as this morning's tide peaks. Live footage from the Peninsula shows spray hitting barricades near the boardwalk while a bulldozer keeps shaping the berm. No water has crossed into the streets so far.

Trucks are building up a berm to prepare for the high tide surge at approximately 9:30 a.m. The area is open to residents only.
