This will be our 16th annual Marina Beach Party for all class years on Saturday, July 26 in 2024 between 9 am and 7 pm. Past alumni, faculty, friends, and family are welcome each year for this FREE annual event. The opening weekend for the US Open of Surfing is usually scheduled on this same late July weekend.
Our beach party site is on 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 several hundred yards south of Jack in the Box, which is near the corner of Warner and PCH.
The summer concert series generally takes place at SeaLegs, so we will likely see several live band performances from the sand while enjoying the sunshine, longer days, and warmer ocean water.
Here is a drone video taken at the 2018 Beach Party by Michael Sola which also includes a large number of photos from the party:

In 2025, the Class Years of '70, '75, '80, '85, '90, '95, '00, '05, '10, and '15 may be scheduling either mini-reunions or more formal events. 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 $20 (general - prices subject to change) in the adjacent lot several hundreds yards south. The earlier you arrive (especially before 12 noon), the better the parking options will be on that same day.
We strongly encourage you to consider taking Uber, Lyft, or some other type of rideshare option to the Beach Party because the parking lot can fill up on busy summer weekends. One example is parking one mile away at the Huntington Harbour Mall, grabbing a drink at the Harbour Rackhouse, and calling a rideshare. Later, a fellow Viking who parked in the lot earlier may drop you back off at your car. Or, you may walk, ride your bike, or grab your skateboard.
