NOTE: refrigerator out of tower, public phone on building, tower falling onto beach (NO BEACH left), first aid table, plumbing,pipes, and door was gone (washed away), and waves went down street into houses, and Camino DelMar flooding cars.

Summer 2020 team community service Del Mar beach, parks, and streets; team picture effort by Mark Rathsam; good work this difficult year director Jon Edelbrock, Mark, and crew! Stay healthy each day, for a better 2021.

Once a ocean lifeguard, always a lifesaver...Del Mar lifeguards when they retire aways watching, but never stop spotting trouble (usually in ripcurrents)!
