RE:BEACH is a coastal resilience design competition in search of the most innovative, multi-beneficial, and feasible solutions to preserve sandy beaches in Oceanside.  A global call to action was released in spring 2023, inviting landscape architecture and engineering firms from around the world to apply to participate in RE:BEACH Oceanside.  A Jury and Advisory Panel composed of local, state, and national experts was formed early on, and helped in making a decision on the finalists in the competition, based on experience, proposed approach, and track record of delivering innovative solutions. 

An inital community Workshop was held in August, and a second Workshop was held October 17, 2023.  In each, the participating teams had a chance to present their ideas to the community and use the feedback to refine their plans.

A third and final community Workshop will be held on Wednesday, December 13 from 4:00-7:00 p.m. at the Junior Seau Beach Community Center.  To encourage participation, parking fees in the nearby parking lot (Betty's lot) and the lot behind the Community Center will be waived during this time frame.  

This final public Workshop will enable each design team to present their refined sand retention pilot project for Oceanside’s beaches.  It's the last chance for community review of the concepts and designs before the Jury recommends a winning project. The winning project will be brought before the City Council for discussion in January and a pilot project will move directly into the engineering and permitting phases.  To view presentations and learn more about this effort, please visit RE:BEACH.

We hope you'll join us!
