Encinitas has closed the switchback trail to Beacon’s Beach and fenced off areas due to a reactivated landslide.
On Wednesday the northern section of the natural historic landslide was reactivated and moved downslope to the west.
The movement created several visible cracks in the slope and damage to the access trail.
In the past, the city has performed repairs to the trail, but the beach access trail is temporarily closed and the beach area around the trail is also shuttered until further notice.
The city said residents and visitors should not breach the new fence or enter the unsafe area. The parking lot will remain open but may be closed if conditions worsen.
The city will continue to provide updates as information becomes available.
