Marina High Alumni Beach Party - Saturday, July 27, 2024

This will be our 15th 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 will likely begin on this same July 27th day near the Huntington Beach Pier a few miles away.

The Marina High Alumni Beach Party will be located 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 site is several hundred yards south of Jack in the Box, which is near the corner of Warner and PCH. Many of us are setting up near 5:30 or 6 am. We'd really appreciate it if more Viking alumni can show up closer to the 6 am parking lot opening time to grab the prime beach space next to SeaLegs at the Beach and set up the tents with us. It will make the event much more successful with your help. Thank you for any assistance.

In 2024, the class years of '69, '74, '79, '84, '89, '94, '99, '04, '09, and '14 may be scheduling either mini-reunions or more formal events. 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 and we will help you promote the event.

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 $20 (general) in the adjacent lot several hundreds yards south. The earlier you arrive, the better the parking options will be on that same day. All parking prices are subject to change.
