URGENT UPDATE: The 5th Street Beach Access ramp in Boca Grande is currently closed due to significant erosion caused by weekend storms and high waves. Lee County Parks & Recreation officials confirmed this morning that maintenance crews are actively working on sand restoration at the bottom of the ramp.
The closure comes as storm damage has compromised the safety of this popular access point, which features three-hour parking for beachgoers. Authorities anticipate that the ramp will reopen shortly, allowing the public to return to the beach.
Officials urge residents and visitors to stay informed about further updates as conditions change. The 5th Street area is known for its beautiful views of the Gulf and is a favorite spot for locals and tourists alike.
As repairs progress, Lee County Parks & Recreation is prioritizing safety and accessibility. Stay tuned for more information on when the 5th Street Beach Access will be available again.
This immediate action underscores the impact of severe weather on coastal facilities and highlights the importance of ongoing maintenance in preserving access to our shorelines.
