Las Tunas Beach

[1] Circa 1986, the beach was described as "little more than a dirt parking lot, a lifeguard station and a steep drop to the Pacific.

"[2] The beach is named for its proximity to Tuna Canyon Road;[2] las tunas are the fruit of the opuntia (prickly pear) cactus.

In 1926, 20 houses were washed off the beach by a major winter storm.

[3][4] Natalie Talmadge owned a house at Las Tunas that burned in 1943.
