DEP ANNOUNCES WEB-BASED MAP THAT IDENTIFIES BEACH ACCESSES AND AMENITIES
~Getting outdoors to enjoy Florida’s beaches is now more convenient~
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – DEP’s Florida Coastal Management Program introduces the “Florida
Beach Access Guide”- an interactive web-based map that is also available on an app for mobile devices. This guide enables beachgoers to locate every public beach access point and
accompanying amenities throughout Florida.
“More than 2,000 public
beach access points along Florida’s coasts are pinpointed with this mobile app and
interactive map,” said Rebecca Prado, program administrator of the Florida
Coastal Management Program. “Features include location, amenities and driving
directions, enabling users to explore more of Florida's coastline by identifying beaches that
meet their interests.”
The “Florida Beach
Access Guide” is divided into three regions – Panhandle, Atlantic Coast and Southwest
Florida Coast. Detailed information about each region’s coastal county access
points such as parking, ADA accessibility, showers, picnic areas, boardwalks, trails,
camping sites, fees and driving directions are provided. Fishing piers and coastal accesses found within state parks are also provided.
