There are lifeguard towers (http://www.sandiego.gov/l...) all along the beach that are manned from 9am till dusk during the summer months. The main lifeguard tower is manned year round and is located on the beach at the foot of Grand Avenue. They can administer first aid and contact the police and fire department if need be.The west end of Garnet Avenue can be a rowdy place in the wee hours, generally populated by the 21 to 30 age group. Alcohol-fueled behavior can lead to rude and occasionally aggressive activities.
