Marineland's River-to-Sea Preserve will be closed during the week as part of the final stage of Flagler County's emergency sand dune restoration project.
The park closed Monday, Oct. 23 and will be closed on the weekdays until Thanksgiving when the work is expected to be completed, according to a press release from the county. The southern half of the preserve's parking lot and the restroom facilities will be open from 5 p.m. on Fridays through Sunday evenings.
Crews are using the west side of State Road A1A across from the preserve as a staging area and will access the beach from the east parking lot. Flagler County Coastal Engineering Administrator Ansley Wren-Key said the park will be closed for safety while the contractor is actively using the River-to-Sea Preserve for beach access.
This northern section will complete the emergency dune restoration work, the press release said. The work is funded through emergency funding for Hurricane Nicole.
“This has been a long process, and we ask for everyone’s continued patience,” said County Administrator Heidi Petito. “We apologize for the inconvenience. We know our residents and visitors love to visit our beaches.”
