Beginning July 17, beach access at Jungle Hut Park will be limited for about two weeks due to emergency dune work at Old Salt Park.

The contractor working at Old Salt Park, on 16th Road in the Hammock, will be using Jungle Hut Park as a beach access point. The work is part of the first segment of the FEMA emergency dune project, according to a press release from the county government.

Jungle Hut Park will remain open to the public, but beachgoers are asked to be alert and take caution — especially families with young children and pets, the press release said. 

County Engineer Faith Alkhatib said there will be around 20 dump trucks per day operating out of the park.

Sand deliveries will occur from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday during the two weeks of construction, Alkhatib said.
