Info

Orange County Coastal Regional Sediment Management Plan northernmost beach in the Trestles area, accessible via a paved path off of Christianitos Road that runs to Trestles (through San Onofre State Beach and the San Mateo Wetlands). Parking is available on the east side of the I-5 in a paid lot of just over 100 spots or on the adjacent street. There are no amenities here apart from a pit toilet at the base of the path. Cottons is a well regarded surfing destination and the beach is primarily used by surfers. In the winter the demographic is mostly local and southern California residents, however in the summer the beach is crowded with traveling surfers. Cottons is also the location of President Nixon’s Western White House, La Casa Pacifica, which sits atop Cottons overlooking the ocean. 2.4.3 Attendance and Recreational Amenities Data were collected on attendance and recreational amenities for the Plan as described in Appendix E. Table 2.5, below, provides official estimates of attendance for all beaches in Orange County where such data exists. Most of the major beaches and all state beaches provide such data. No data exist where spaces are blank. King and McGregor (2011) found that these official estimates are often too high, especially at smaller beaches and this study did not provide alternative estimates. The estimates of high and low season attendance are taken from Dwight (2007) and differ from official estimates. Note also that Coastal Resources Management (CRM, 2009) studied some specific intertidal sites at Corona Del Mar and parts of Laguna Beach, which provide a wealth of data on this aspect of beach and coastal visitation Even though these estimates do not include all beaches in the Orange County, the overall attendance estimates are striking with just over 46 million day visits per year. Huntington City Beach tops the list with 9.9 million visitors per year. Newport - Balboa Beaches are close behind, with 7.8 million visitors per year. Laguna City estimates its beaches have 4.1 million visitors per year. A number of other beaches in Orange County have over one million visitors per year, those being Seal Beach, Bolsa Chica State Beach, Huntington State Beach, Aliso County Beach Park, Dana Strands - Doheny State Beach, and San Clemente City Beach. Table 2.6 indicates which beaches have various recreational amenities including restrooms, lifeguards, showers, piers, campgrounds, etc. The final column rates the popularity of surfing at each beach with a rating based on purely subjective standards. A rating of 0 indicates no surfing is available or it is virtually nonexistent. A rating of 4 indicates that surfing is extremely popular. The most popular surfing beaches such as Huntington City Beach, West Newport Beach, and Cottons attained a rating of 4 on this scale. Everest International Consultants, Inc. 2.14
