When the Ocean Beach Pier first opened...

[Ken Jones]

It opened on July 2, 1966. These pictures are probably from June 1966. All photos courtesy of Moffatt & Nichol. My first visit would be a month later on August 6, 1966, just a few weeks before my marriage.

Studies are currently underway on how to best repair and eventually rebuild the pier

Wow, the glorious days, hopefully the pier will be repaired and people get to enjoy it once more.

I think anglers and the residents of the area are also hoping to see the pier open once again.

This view may be simplistic, but when I look at the pictures, it seems that a slight angle would have gotten the pier a lot closer to the kelp with little, if any, extra cost and effort.
