I was out at Grand Beach last weekend and the boardwalk appears pretty near finished. On a positive note, last weekend was the first weekend, weather wise, that could have actually been considered a beach day so all in all, we haven't been too inconvenienced with the closure of the beach and all the construction. From what I can tell, they just need to finish the railing, install the stairs and with some clean up and landscaping we should be good to go...

FYI: the construction site is quite secured. I'm assuming these beach walkers came from the camp grounds and entered at the East Beach and just kept walking to the West Beach. I wouldn't advise it though, there are heavy fines if you are discovered.
Seeing the buoys lying along the sand is always a good sign that the beach will be open to the public shortly.

So what do you think? Personally, I'm not loving the chain link, how about you? I believe the real reason for the railing to to dissuade people from doing aerobatics off the board walk but isn't there a better material than chain link? I think the chain link has compromised the whole aesthetics of the board walk. What are your thoughts on this? Do you have a better idea or suggestion? Don't be shy, please add your comments and opinions. We would all love to hear your input.
Stay tuned...
I'm here for YOU.
