Avila  Pier  Renovation  Has  Begun!

<

>

​Restoration of the Pier will be a multi-year project, divided into three stages:

• Stage 1: Initial Repairs to Reopen the Pier
  • This stage is underway!  In Stage 1 approximately 50 pilings will be repaired or replaced, all decking out to, but not including, the Pier Terminus (the wider area at the seaward end) is being replaced and made ADA-accessible, new light posts and hand railing will be installed and utilities will be moved to the outside of the railing.  Stage 1 repairs will take several months—possibly more than one year—to complete.  During this time the Pier will closed.  
• Stage 2: Repairs to the Boat Landing and Restrooms
• Stage 3: Repairs and Improvements to the Terminus

Donations received by Friends of Avila Pier from 2019 through 2021 were used to facilitate the start of Stage 1 repairs in the summer of 2022. 
Now we need to raise additional funds to help with Stages 2 and 3. Can you help?

Friends of Avila Pier (FOAP), Inc. is a a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was formed by volunteers from the Avila Beach community for the sole purpose of assisting in raising funds to preserve, renovate and maintain Avila Pier. We need to raise money from our community to augment grant funds secured by the Port San Luis Harbor District. This will ensure that the Harbor District can repair and preserve the marine heritage and character of the local port for future generations.
