Late May 2013, the new Ob Lifeguard statue was unveiled to honor the lifeguards who protect us along the shoreline. It is a beautiful bronze piece of art and has a bronze memorial plaque right next to it. Coronado artist Richard Arnold created the statue and it stands proudly along the OB Boardwalk next to the Lifeguard Tower, 4 UnilocalSTARS for this noble figure and hopefully when the marshmallows come out after the July 4 annual fireworks, someone will have thought of throwing a protective tarp over our new bronzed Lifeguard!
