Cabrillo Beach Inner Harbor

Cabrillo Beach's inner harbor is consistently rated "F" by various rating agencies. The lack of water flow keeps things stagnet and the contamination levels high. The port has replaced the sand, kept the birds off the beach, along with other attempts. Still, the beach is consistently rated "F". The fundamental problem is water flow is almost non-existant. The good news is that though our bright scientists can not seem to improve the rating of the beach, nature is finding a way. Specifically, the beach has gotten bigger over the years as sand piles up and just stays there.

There are many approaches to how to improve the quality of Cabrillo Beach's inner harbor, but the simple one is to fill in the dead space in the water right off the beach with sand. This will increase water circulation at the beach and improve the beach's ratings. Nature is already starting to do this for us. We just need to finish it.

If fixing the inner harbor does not work. Maybe we should go back to our history books and revert that part of the harbor back to the marsh lands it use to be. Marsh lands would compliment the reserve next door, and help clean the water in the harbor. The outer beach is one of the best kept secrets in Los Angeles. And with the enhancement of the Cabrillo Beach Bath House any improvement to the inner harbor (clean beach or marsh land) would be an improvement.
