To provide adequate protection against storm wave attack, minimize terrace slope erosion, enhance public safety, and maintain lateral beach access, the 2,100-foot aged riprap revetment was repaired under the site's development plan at Strand Beach, California. Furthermore, to promote public use of the project beach area and enhance the aesthetic scenic view, an 8-foot wide pedestrian walkway with a 3-foot high retaining wall was built atop the revetment. The integrated walkway/retaining wall structure provides additional protection against storm wave impingement. A 3-year post-construction beach monitoring program was implemented to document any potential revetment construction impact on coastal processes at Strand Beach after the revetment repair. It was found that the coastal processes impact on Strand Beach as a result of the revetment repair is inconsequential.
