A large pile of rocks, dirt and debris covers the beach sand, as a portion of the cliffside above crumbled. A destroyed beach access staircase could be seen in the rubble.

A portion of beach was closed Friday following a landslide on a bluff below homes in Laguna Beach. Part of the bluff collapsed onto the shore at 9th Street Beach, temporarily closing the area. Rocks and dirt piled up on the sand below at least two homes.
