Seaside Beach Access Improvements

Summary

Seaside Circle (Access Point #6), a partially developed  access  point on the southern end of Gulf Boulevard, is a high traffic area with a healthy dune system that has fully recovered from the storm surge created by hurricanes Dolly and Ike. The existing dune walkover is too narrow to support its high use and does not provide adequate height over the dune to allow sunlight to reach the vegetation underneath.  A new walkover is vital to providing adequate public beach access and keeping the dune system strong and free of weak points leading to gaps and washovers.
