On Friday, January 31, 2025, at approximately 7:15 a.m., the City's Emergency Communications Center received a report of bluff movement near Point Place, between 9th and 10th Street Beach. The initial emergency response involved coordinated efforts from Laguna Beach Marine Safety, Fire, and Police Departments, along with mutual aid from the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA). Upon arrival, first responders determined that approximately 500 cubic yards of bluff material fell onto the beach and while no structures were directly impacted, private access stairways and walkways from Point Place were damaged. Out of an abundance of caution, emergency personnel conducted a thorough search of the debris field, including the deployment of a canine from OCFA's Urban Search & Rescue Team, to ensure no individuals were caught in the slide. Luckily, no individuals were found to be injured as a result of the slide. "This was a significant bluff collapse, and we responded with an abundance of caution to ensure no one was in harm's way," said Laguna Beach Fire Chief Niko King. "Luckily no one was hurt and while there is no immediate danger, it's important for everyone to stay clear of the closed area while assessments continue." As a precaution, three homes situated above the impacted bluff were temporarily evacuated, though they were not directly affected and are no longer evacuated. The City's Building Division is conducting further assessments on land stability and structural integrity, while a geologist is evaluating overall hillside conditions.
