Strand Beach Funicular is an unusual, new funicular railway in Dana Point, California. It transports people between a beach area and a hilltop, making the beach accessible. A developer agreed to construct this amenity for the city as part of an overall deal for a large real estate development. It was completed and opened in 2009, and ownership and operation was turned over to the city.[1]
