A local nonprofit this week started a recovery fund for Seacliff State Beach, an iconic stretch in Santa Cruz County, to help the area after a series of storms wrecked it.
Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks, a nonprofit that partners with California State Parks to help maintain parks in Santa Cruz County, launched the"Seacliff State Beach Recovery Fund" to assist with long-term recovery efforts.
Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks said in a statement that"critical" infrastructure and visitor amenities suffered"immense" damage. In picnic areas, shade structures have collapsed, chunks of concrete eroded away and doors to some of the bathrooms have been shredded. The nonprofit said that the seawall that was in front of the seawall was destroyed and estimates that it would cost over $30 million to rebuild the pier and the seawall.
