Public access to the end of the pier has been cut off for more than a month due to safety concerns by owners of the Crystal Pier cottages, which sit on a large stretch of the structure.
The city wants public input on the future of the 56-year-old icon: Repair it, rehabilitate it or replace it?
View of Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach on Friday, May 5, 2023. The pier, past the cottages is closed due to the recent winter storms. “In this case, there are a large number of braces that broke or cracked from the king tides and storms surge,” he said. “Whereas the pier structurally is sound, we felt it best to close off the westernmost section for extra public safety. The hotel section that is leased from city is much wider and has more braces and pilings so the cracked and broken braces under this section are not a safety concern, especially since we have what appears to be calm weather ahead for a few months.
On Crystal Pier, a white picket fence can be seen blocking public access to the last 300 feet of the nearly century-old structure, with a small laminated sign reading “closed for maintenance.” Crystal Pier Hotel and Cottages is a city tenant and leases a portion of the pier for the operation of the cottages where guests can pull their cars up to the front of their individual rentals. The hotel controls access to the pier via its property, so city officials say it was the hotel that closed access to the public section of the pier as a safety precaution.
Denver resident Jim White was among those staying in one of the cottages while the pier was closed. “It’s frustrating,” he said.
