Thanks, John... so so long ago. Life was sure different when all there was to do was work and fish! My dad loved that house and he was out on the beach all the time. He even rigged up spotlights on an extension and sand spike for night fishing. We ate a lot of corbina, and thanks to a lobster-fishing friend, them too!

From that first picture, compared to when i walked by there last month, looks like the beach has eroded a lot,....
Wondering if that is due to sl rise, climate change?

Comparing a fifty + year old photo to a walk on the beach? Try this Goat...

I've been surfing that beach ('chits', Bells [as Bells beach in Australia], a few other surfer names over the years) since 1968. Probably walked that sand over 2000 times. Some minor cliff erosion, nothing else. Only difference is the surf has never been as big as it was in '69 since then.

Without a palm tree on the shore, none of us can measure the sea level change. Fact. :lol:

The beach sand level changes... the sea level has not any amount that can be noticed. The lot my home was on and the street has not risen, it is the same as 65-70 years ago and the ocean is not anywhere near covering it.

During the El Niño of the late 70s or early 80s, the sand washed away and they added a rock jetty/wall along the front of all the Del Mar beach homes so they would not be undermined by waves. The sand was not there to act as a barricade. The sand has since returned... but the height fluctuates over the years. The sea may get closer... but it is not higher.

Let's not forget there have been several massive sand replenishment projects over the last two decades. Drive up the coast and look at the beach in Cardiff right now, looks like it did in the 1970's. Except all that sand was just put there over the summer.

They are also currently dredging the mouth of San Elijo Lagoon (because it doesn't flow like it should naturally!) and adding even more sand on the beach. They replenished sand along the beach at Ponto/Carlsbad a couple years ago as well. None of that sand "returned" except by dredging operations. They just did a huge project in the San Dieguito lagoon as well and put all that sand on the beaches, or just offshore for future use. Nature had almost nothing to do with supplying most of the sand we see today.

Didn't they have an experimental "sand tube" along Del Mar? I think they tried that first and then put the rip rap on the beach after that.

But, DK has a point. Sandy Lane is not underwater, and seems about the same relative to the water as I recall from the late 70's. Of course, rebuilding the beaches periodically would skew our POV. It would be interesting to see what it looked like if sand replenishment never took place. I would imagine all cobble and riprap. There's a reason folks just north of Del Mar are fighting to build sea walls along the bluff. The ocean must be coming closer. Which kind of means "higher" does it not?

Yep, sand is what most people want to walk and play on... not rocks.

Before man-made concrete dams and highways, the rivers (arroyos) is how sand (once the top of granite mountains) reached the sea and spread down the coast.

Now, to have a good sand beach, they pump it to the shore from where it has piled up beyond the waves or import it. Sand moves!

And disappears down the coast if not replenished. Perhaps some of this "sea level rise" could just be the unintended effects of dammed up rivers and lack of natural beach production for the last 100 years. Hmmm. Interesting. The lack of sand is perhaps worse than any minor sea level rise in our area.
