Carlsbad beaches to get tons of sand
The first of three sand replenishment projects hit Carlsbad beaches in November, as the state of California Department of Fish and Game began dredging in the Batiquitos Lagoon. The state project removed sand build-up on the lagoon bottom and puts on beaches in South Carlsbad and Encinitas.

In April the San Diego Association of Governments will initiate the Regional Beach Sand Project II, placing 1.4 million cubic yards of sand on nine county beaches. Two of those beaches are in Carlsbad, one at the north, and one at the south.
And beginning December 2012, NRG Energy, which owns and operates the Encina Power Station, will perform its biennial maintenance dredging at Agua Hedionda Lagoon.
“Beautiful sandy beaches are an important part of our city’s quality of life and tourism economy.”
Approximately 350,000 cubic yards of sand removed from the lagoon bottom will be placed on the beach near Tamarack Avenue.
Unlike beaches in cities to the north and south, Carlsbad beaches are controlled by the state, which is responsible for lifeguard service, beach parking lots, restrooms and other amenities.
“Beautiful sandy beaches are an important part of our city’s quality of life and tourism economy,” Associate Engineer Steve Jantz said. “It’s great to see these projects move forward.”
