In early March, the local authority hopes to reopen Dog Beach and Boca Grande beach accesses, followed by Alison Hagerup Beach Park, San Carlos Bay and Bonita Beach accesses one, four, five six and nine in mid-March.
The following month will see Lynne Hall Memorial Park and Bonita Beach Park reopen, and in May, Bowditch Point Park, Little Hickory Island Park and Crescent Beach Family Park will follow suit.
