Narrow path at the jetty also gets buried under the sand when it is windy.

Wind reeks havoc on the Venice bike path, the walks along ocean front walk, and the Venice jetty walk. Wherever there is sand next to a walk or bike path, the wind can just bury it.

County Department of Beaches and Harbors is responsible for keeping the bike path from Malibu to Redondo Beach clear and clean. The department cleans it twice a week. The City Department of Parks and Recreation is responsible for the grass area, east of the path and next to the sand. The wind blows westerly and blows the sand against the grassy areas, which act as barriers. The sand accumulates on the grassy areas and at the border of the bike path.
