Does anyone happen to know what the charges are for beach chair/umbrella rentals around the Golden Sands condo?? They cannot tell me at the condo because they said the rental places are privately owned and they have nothing to do with them?? Thanks
Charges for rental equipment varies a little bit year to year and block to block, but an umbrella is about $15/day or $70/week and a chair about $10/day or $40/week. Here is a the price sheet from the place at 64th Street a couple of summers ago:

I'm looking for an affordable upcoming photographer to do a quick maternity shoot on the beach early-mid July. It's a little last minute I know, but does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Congratulations on your new arrival!
Your best bet is to reach out to Telescope Pictures. You can reach them at 410.289.0685. They are reasonably priced and take great photos on the beach. You can talk to any of the 'scopes people on the beach or call them to make an appointment. See if you can take your photos early in the morning (when the sun is over the water) or late in the afternoon for the best light.
If you are looking to do a more structured portrait on the beach there are several good studios, but they tend to be a bit more expensive. I few years ago we did a family photo with 13 people (an infant, 6 more kids, and 6 adults). We used Paul Smith of The Photographer's Studio. He did a great job and I highly recommend him for family portraits. You can find more information about his studio at http://www.thephotographersstudio.com/index.asp. It is worth visiting this website because he has lots of useful information and tips that can help you better plan for a family portrait on the beach.
You can call either of these places with a week or so notice and will have no problem scheduling something

Is the pier totally fixed? We are coming for vacation in July and my grandkids love the pier.
Yes, the pier is totally fixed. It reopened a few weeks ago with pier franchise owner Buddy Jenkins and OC Mayor Rick Meehan casting the first lines from the reopened pier. You can read more about its reconstruction and reopening here.
Have fun with the grandkids in OC!
