Muir Beach Restoration

The Muir Beach restoration is a landscape-level coastal restoration project designed to bring back natural function to the creek, freshwater wetlands, intermittent tidal lagoon and dunes over a 46-acre site at the mouth of one of the iconic watersheds in the Bay Area.

The project will also enhance visitor amenities at the parking lot and picnic area, create interpretive opportunities such as waysides and self-guided hikes, and improve regional trail links.

The combined actions will create a natural creek system, reconnect the floodplain over the entire site, improve the quality and quantity of Coho salmon and steelhead trout habitat, reduce flooding on Pacific Way and improve vehicular access along the road, and provide sustainable California red-legged frog habitat.

Beach at Crissy Field  

Did You Know?
One of the oldest tidal gauges in the country at Crissy Field shows 8 inches of sea level rise over the past 100 years (a rate 2 to 10 times higher than the previous 5000 years). We could see 2 to 3 more rise in the next 100 years.
