DEP TO HOST OPEN HOUSE REGARDING ST. ANDREWS BAY STATE PARK

~The public is invited to share input on land management plans for state park~

PANAMA CITY - Join the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Florida Park Service for an open house to gather ideas for future updates to the management plan for St. Andrews State Park on Wednesday, Dec. 3.   

St. Andrews State Park is well known for its 1.5 miles of sugar-white sand beaches and emerald green waters where camping, fishing, swimming and beach combing are popular activities. 

This public workshop will be held in an open house format. A short presentation by staff will share the process of updating a management plan. Members of the public will be invited to meet with staff and share their thoughts on the facilities, activities and management practices offered at St. Andrews State Park. It is important to note, this is a preliminary idea-gathering opportunity. At this time, there is not a draft management update.
