The Board of County Commissioners dealt with ongoing beach issues at the July 26 meeting.
The board approved the repair of 21 of the 56 beach accesses destroyed during Hurricane Dennis, which made landfall July10.
?We need to get 20 boardwalks up to get visitors to the beach,? Titus said.
Titus explained the necessity of the repairs was due to a large number of properties that cannot be rented without beach access. Titus estimated the repairs will cost the county approximately $400,000.
Commissioner Cindy Meadows suggested sand as an alternative measure, considering the walkovers are damaged in every storm.
?To put compatible sand down is way, way expensive,? Titus responded.
Titus said the TDC would investigate alternative boardwalk technology for the future.

How much does a simple private (as opposed to the more substantial public access) beach walkover cost to build?

My neighbor replaced their simple stairway to the beach after Ivan to the tune of 16 thousand dollars. House next to theirs was 14 thousand. My Sister in Sand Cliffs subdivision paid even more. We were lucky as only the last section of our walkway needed to be replaced and it was around two thousand. Not so simple is it?

Kurt,
Nice picture. That is Mr. and Mrs. Paddlin under the two green and white beach umbrellas. The water is just incredilble right now. It is as clear as I have ever seen it. Some visitors have added wood to the path to the sand.
