Is this the current Blue Mountain Beach access at 83? There are several BMB access areas. Thanks for any clarification.

Thank you - I should have checked. Now that I have, I more confused. It says Shell Seeker is over by Waline and I didn't know that was considered Blue Mtn.

So I still don't know which BMB access they are talking of renovating.

Thanks, Kurt. Great Link. One of the Inlet Beach accesses has a fairly new bathroom and parking, and I'm not sure it's the same one as St. Helen's (because it's not in/near the park). It has a pretty flat boardwalk, too, which is nice if there's a hurricane that takes out the board walk stairs in other areas nearby (e.g., Seacrest).

It may be one you already mentioned in the list, but (I only looked quickly) I didn't see the bathrooms/parking mentioned (unless it is the St. Helen one and I didn't know it).

I am guessing they mis-labeled it Blue Mountain Beach in the bid request.
