Marina High Alumni Beach Party - July 31, 2021

 * Please note that this scheduled event is subject to future beach regulations. If public events are not allowed by July 2021 on the beach, then people are still welcome to visit SeaLegs at the Beach (opens at 10 am) on the same day and time on Saturday, July 31st in 2021 for so long as it continues to remain open to the general public. If so, they can set up their own individual beach canopy tents just like many of us did in 2020 and rent private cabanas or fire pit ring areas in SeaLegs, if interested. Our beach party location is right adjacent to SeaLegs at the Beach, which is the largest beachfront restaurant and bar in Southern California. https://www.sealegsatthebeach.com/


This will be our 12th annual Marina Beach Party for all class years. Past alumni, faculty, friends, and family are welcome each year for this FREE annual event. The US Open of Surfing may or may not be starting on this same late July weekend in 2021 as well.

Event Coordinators: Patrick Knowles, Amy Mason, Shirley Flack, Lisa Evans Rockefeller, and Rick Tobin

Food Buffet and BBQ Chef - Shirley Flack; Sign-In Table - Patricia Caponiti and Jean Tobin; Key Party Personnel with Multiple Functions - Denise Clark Churchill, Teresa Flack, Shelley Flack, and 100+ other alumni who bring food and supplies to the party; RV and Motorhome Coordinator - Deanna Fowler Kavanagh; and Drone Video Production Wizard - Mike Sola.

On Saturday, July 31st, 2021 at 10 am, we will be holding our 12th annual Marina High Alumni Beach Party for all class years at the Bolsa Chica State Beach near Lifeguard Tower 26 in Huntington Beach, and right adjacent to the Sea Legs at the Beach restaurant and bar. This location is approximately a few hundred yards south of Jack in the Box, which is near the corner of Warner and PCH.

In 2021, the Class Years of '71, '76, '81, '86, '91, '96, '01, '06, and '11 may be scheduling either mini-reunions or more formal events. Additionally, some class years in 2020 delayed their reunion gatherings until 2021. We had a record 30+ class years represented by Marina alumni at the 2018 Marina Beach Party. If these class years plan on holding their individual class reunions within the Beach Party as either their main reunion event or as a portion of their weekend reunion event, you are more than welcome.

PARKING INFORMATION: There is free parking north of Jack in the Box in Sunset Beach, and paid gated parking for $7.50 (disabled), $14 (senior), and $15 (general) in the adjacent lot several hundreds yards south. The earlier you arrive, the better the parking options will be on that same day.
