Can lifeguards give tickets? They could call a cop, but my last interaction with one, she said all she could do was remind people of the law and hope they comply

I have no clue on there jurisdictions
Good question.

Whether they can write tickets is irrelevant. We must not piss them off because we want them on our side should we ever have an access issue in the future.

Also big tip on driving in sand, never hit the brakes if you don't have to. Your vehicle will stop itself just by letting off the gas and if you do hit the brakes, it will cause your tires to push sand up in front of you making it harder to get going again.

They can't give you a ticket. They don't have the authority or even a ticket book, maybe for alchohol.

Yes they can issue citations as well arrest you. For most serious issues they will call SDPD but as stated below they have powers of arrest. Also on the city website it states the speed limit is 5mph at the launch.

From the citys website:

San Diego Lifeguards are a 24-hour rescue agency whose service area covers approximately 24 miles of coastline from the tip of Point Loma to Torrey Pines and Mission Bay. Lifeguard responsibilities include water rescue, boat rescue, marine fire suppression up to three miles offshore, coastal cliff rescue, underwater search and recovery, swift water and flood search and rescue, and emergency medical response on and around beach, bay and ocean areas. San Diego Lifeguards also handle enforcement of city, state and federal laws and regulations, through prevention, citation and arrest. All full-time lifeguards are classified as peace officers and seasonal lifeguards are classified as public officers, both with the power of arrest. Most enforcement activity however, is related to local ordinances concerning beach and water use.
