Kellogg Beach Sand Replenishment
The Port of San Diego periodically replenishes the sand at Kellogg Beach to help protect the beach from natural erosion and ensure it can continue to be enjoyed by beachgoers for years to come. Sand replenishment includes the placement of natural sand of approximately 2,200 cubic yards on the shoreline located approximately between Kellogg and Lawrence streets. For public safety, beach access is limited during the sand replenishment project.
The Port is working with Chula Vista-based contractor Montano Pipeline Inc. on the sand replenishment project for 2025. This project is budgeted as part of the Port’s Major Maintenance Program.

This project is budgeted as part of the Port’s Major Maintenance Program and is not paid for by tax dollars – the Port does not collect taxes, rather we are self-funded through various other revenue sources.
