Santa Cruz area was hit by the biggest ocean swell in 30 years. The huge waves tore apart a portion of the city's municipal wharf and it has been closed to the public ever since. But on Saturday morning,

The City of Santa Cruz is asking the public for help in the removal of debris from the collapse of the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf.

Santa Cruz’s beloved wharf reopened to the public Saturday, after about 150 feet of the pier’s end fell into the ocean last month and prompted the city to temporarily close the popular tourist destination.

The Santa Cruz Wharf will reopen to the public on Saturday January 4, city officials said,13 days after a section of the century-old pier collapsed into the ocean. About 150 feet collapsed within seconds on Dec.

Mayor, while stressing the value of the wharf in the community, says rebuilding without serious discussions would be “irresponsible.”

A part of the Santa Cruz Wharf collapsed Monday afternoon during a high-surf warning, with authorities confirming two people had to be pulled from the water.

The damaged Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf is set to reopen Saturday, less than two weeks after powerful waves caused a portion of it to collapse into the ocean. The reopening is much earlier than officials first thought after a section at the end of the under-construction wharf collapsed into the Pacific Ocean and washed away during a strong storm on Dec.
