ENCINITAS, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) -- The City of Encinitas recently provided an update on the renovation of a key beach access point in Encinitas.
The D Street Beach access staircase, located at 404 West D Street, has been closed since April due to emergency structural concerns.
"Design is complete and the custom metal brackets for the staircase repair are being fabricated. Construction is anticipated to begin in mid-August 2025," the City of Encinitas said on its website earlier this month.
Built in 1989, the popular access point provides residents and visitors with a mile-long stretch of beach running below the bluffs from Moonlight Beach, south to Swami’s Point.
Beachgoers can use an alternative access point a block away at Moonlight Beach to access the D Street Beach area.
The project is estimated to take 60 working days to complete, city officials confirmed.
