Public Beach Accesses
NOTICE
Beach Access 13 (Sandpiper Trail) will be closed for several hours today (6/18). Beachgoers are advised to stay out of this area while a potential ordnance that was uncovered on the beach is being handled by law enforcement technicians.
Public parking (for golf carts/electric vehicles) is available at most beach accesses. The map below provides information about the approximate number of parking spaces at each of the beach accesses that have parking.
Please be sure not to park at the entrances of the emergency vehicle accesses and make sure that your golf cart is completely off of the pavement and that there is ample space for emergency vehicles to get through.
Please note: it is unacceptable to use beach accesses that are not marked (numbered) for public use.
