The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will consider awarding a construction contract that would transform the 58-acre Tunitas Creek beach into San Mateo County's new regional coastal park.

The project was long planned for a scenic stretch of sandy beach framed by cliffs visible from Highway 1.

Turning Tunitas Creek into the new coastal park involves creating trails and scenic overlooks, as well as adding picnic tables.

In addition, plans include improving parking and building a spa.
