Thanks for the note. That's terrible...was last out there for work in 2016. Ran down to the pier in the am and ate at the pier restaurant in the pm. Beautiful location. I hope the recovery and rebuild is quick. California piers were built tough.
We lived at 316 1/2 (converted garage) and then 316 South Myers while I was stationed at Pendleton. Rent was so much that we didn't have much money left, spent a lot of time at the pier and on the beach. Sorry to hear this.
Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....
What a shame. Last summer I deeply enjoyed a three-week TDY that had us visiting MCAS Pendelton, Point Loma, and NAS North Island. The mission fell over the Juneteeth weekend so our ~8 pax detachment all pitched in on an Oceanside Air BnB to enjoy the 4-day just a nudge north of the pier and 2 blocks from the beach. A liquor store called Pappy's was across the street and a burger/burrito/everything joint called Angelo's was two blocks northeast. We had a great weekend, and enjoyed walking that pier.
I hope they get it all fixed up and back to how it was!
