The Orange County Sheriffs Department issued a statement today about the missing swimmer at Salt Creek Beach located in Dana Point. The recovery efforts are concluded for the night. The recovery efforts will begin again tomorrow at 6:00am.
In part the statement stated that ” On Saturday August 23 2014 at approx. 11:33am Orange County Lifeguards received a report of a missing swimmer off Salt Creek Beach. The missing swimmer is a 60 year old male who was last seen body surfing in the water near Lifeguard Tower 2.”
The Orange County Lifeguards led the initial search. Next there was a multi agency search. Lifeguards from Orange County, Laguna Beach and the California State Park helped in the search. Lifeguards used jet skis and their snorkel team as tools in the search. The Sheriffs Harbor Patrol and Dive Team also searched the area. Orange County Fire Authority assisted as well. Anaheim Police and the United States Coast Guard supplied support from the air.

We saw search boats and two helicopters searching at the point just north of the exclusive Ritz Cove Residences. The photo we posted is of lifeguard tower 2.
