Mom came out in ‘62 to stay at a friend’s house on countryman’s for a vaca. Told dad to send my bro and I (I was 9 and he was 12) out for a couple of weeks during summer. Called him and said none of us were coming back to Illinois. Dad came out within a couple of months, and was in his glory! Thanks Mom!

We received this video from the LB Lifeguards. They didn't know what it was or what to do with it because it was a very unusual format (Helical Scan) that no one would transfer because it was all greasy. I luckily found a specialist who literally baked the tape to solidify it so that it could be run through the player. It was worth it. :) .

Thanks for preserving and publishing this up-close record of the existential transition from the old boardwalk to the new Main Beach Park (and new boardwalk)... probably the most significant event in Laguna’s modern history.

Thanks for putting up this piece of history. I was a year out of LBHS at the time. Remember the breakfast at Benson's. There was an old style barber shop along the piece of business frontage on Coast Hwy. Don't remember the name. My friend Nick bought a barber chair from it before the tear down. I believe it is still in his home in Blue Bird Canyon.

I remember walking the beach during this destruction/construction. It was horrific to me, having spent my entire childhood here. The result of all this, The Window to the Sea, or Main Beach Park, was a great relief, although the former incarnation is greatly missed by many old time Lagunatics!
