Historic structure, popular with tourists and locals for generations, is a landmark in Monterey Bay
The Capitola Wharf is undergoing repairs in Capitola, Calif., on Friday, May 17, 2024. The Capitola Wharf, an 855-foot-long landmark that has delighted generations of beach visitors since its construction in 1857, was badly damaged in winter storms last year. It’s as long as San Francisco’s Transamerica Pyramid laid on its side.
“It has been about 17 months since the damage,” said Capitola city manager Jamie Goldstein. “We’re looking forward to reopening it three months ahead of schedule. We are really happy with the progress.” Crews have widened the wharf from 20 feet to 36 feet wide, on the half nearest to the shore that is particularly vulnerable to big waves.
“It’s the nature of the beast,” Griggs said. “Anything you stick in the ocean is going to be impacted sooner or later. The question is how strong do you want to rebuild it?” “In each case we decide these places are worth saving,” Griggs said. “We are going to keep the Capitola Wharf. We are going to keep the Big Sur Highway.”
One thing missing now from the old wharf: The buildings. The two storm events last year so badly damaged the two business on the wharf, the Wharf House restaurant, and the Boat and Bait boat rental shop, that they had to be demolished. The bait shop is expected to reopen there later this summer in a modular temporary unit, and long-term plans have begun to decide whether to build another restaurant or other amenities.
