Here are the top five stories in Oceanside-Camp Pendleton today:

1. Buccaneer Beach in South Oceanside will be temporarily closed on Tuesday, September 6 and Wednesday, September 7 as the city places compatible beach sand on the upper/back portion of the beach to replace sand that has eroded. The import of sand will involve heavy trucks and equipment. The public can access the ocean via paths to the north and south of Buccaneer Beach. The city’s new Coastal Zone Program aims to responsibly manage coastal resources to benefit the community while improving the natural habitat and resiliency against coastal storms and rising seas.

2. The Oceanside City Council voted unanimously to approve further work on the new police station site. The Police Department’s future home could be 5.8 acres the city owns in the 1200 block of Rancho Del Oro, across the street from the city’s 465-acre El Corazon Park. A preliminary plan prepared for the city earlier this year describes a three-story, above-grade building with subterranean levels for a firing range and evidence storage. The building would have a parking structure for 500 to 600 vehicles, with 50 to 75 spaces reserved for accessible and public parking. (The San Diego Union-Tribune)
3. A vegetation fire in the De Luz area of Fallbrook grew to 30 acres Sunday as firefighters from multiple agencies and units on the ground and in the air battled the flames, authorities said.
   The fire was reported at 1:35 p.m. off Sandia Creek Road north of De Luz Road, Cal Fire San Diego Capt. Thomas Shoots said. Ground crews were making "good progress" on the flanks of the fire, the captain said. There was no immediate threat to structures. Part of Sandia Creek Road was closed to northbound traffic. (Patch)
4. Took a break from the news this weekend? Not to worry, we've rounded up all the stories you may have missed Saturday and Sunday to prepare you for Monday. But before we jump into Southern California’s top stories, Golden State residents should know multiple wildfires burned throughout the state as a scorching heatwave hit Californians. In NorCal, two wildfires broke out within 10 miles, burning over 10,000 collective acres. In SoCal, a major wildfire burned over 5,000 acres in Los Angeles and another burned 4,400 acres in San Diego County. (Patch)
5. Annika Bellamy will be performing a free concert on September 16 at the Oceanside Pier as part of the Nissan SuperGirl Pro concert series. The 3-day event will feature headliners Smash Mouth, Hoobastank, The Expendables, Kira Korarin and many others. The Nissan SuperGirl Pro features the two largest women’s surf contests in the world, a major all-women’s skateboarding event, the only female-driven esports tournaments in the U.S. and the world’s only all-female snowboarding competition as the anchors for festivals that also include concerts, female DJs, beach soccer, beach volleyball, fitness, yoga, dance, fashion, speakers, classes, beauty and more.
