My grandparents had a trailer home there at rhe same time. Sheriff John was so nice, we took pics with him. I absolutely loved.that place and the little store. I loved going in there and looking at the fish. I was about 5 yrs old. Such great memories!!!
Do you know if there’s a web page with old pics of thentrailer park? Thanks

My grandparents also lived there in the 60′s. I spent summers there and all the breaks. We were very close to the Klaassen family at the time, Joe and Ethel ran the park and I hung out with 2 of their sons, Joey and Randy. I spent 8 or 9 summers living there. It sounds like some others who responded may have been there when I was. I’m curious!

Our grandparents had a place here when we were kids in the sixties. Sheriff John Rovick, a local television personality, was a neighbor . We once used one of the old pier pilings in a large bonfire and Joe the manager rode up in his Jeep and put out the fire. Good times and memories.

As a child, I fished often from this pier. My father, Ray Woody and his partner Joe built the mobile home park they named “Big Sycamore Beach Resort”. We moved here from Santa Monica in 1953. My father also built the Cove House in 1955 where our family lived until I graduated high school in 1961.

Any idea when the pier actually was washed out?

My grandparents lived in a mobile home park on this property in the 1960′s. We would go fishing off the pier and collect sea glass stones and shells. We would all walk down to the sand dune and slide down on card board. Wonderful childhood memories there.
