Awesome statute in memory of lifeguard Ben Carlson. Located in from of the pier entrance. Really great place to bring the whole family. Saw many people with dogs so I’m guessing this area is very dog friendly.

It was so sad but very interesting.My 8 year old son enjoyed it and understood it but my 5 year old daughter did not understand it. But she asked about it later in the car.

I really liked the musicians that were playing

Beautiful place and amazing beach view.

What a beautiful tribute to Ben Carlson and the sacrifice he made!

Nice place to have rest and looking around

Nice landmark

Wonderful temperature after midnight.

“Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.” Just do it!

A beautiful statue moralizing Ben Carlson- the only lifeguard to have died in the line of duty at New Port Beach.
