A city spokesperson says San Diego has spent nearly $2 million in recent years repairing damage. The city's long-term solution is a pier renewal project.
Jim Grant has been taking photos at the Ocean Beach Pier for decades. When he saw the potential to photograph 15 foot waves on Thursday, nothing could stand in his way - except this gate.
San Diego will keep the OB Pier closed through the early part of 2024 as a result of recent damage and with the potential for additional structural impairment from the upcoming storm season.
