Pedestrian Beach Access Boardwalk Temporarily Closed

The City will begin doing repairs to the pedestrian beach access boardwalk at Winterberry Drive and Collier Blvd. beginning Wednesday, March 29th. The boardwalk will be closed for approximately 10 days. The boardwalk was damaged during Hurricane Ian and has several trip hazards, unfastened and loose planks, and beams and posts that are failing. The City’s facilities staff will shore the posts and beams and replace or repair damaged planks to ensure the safety of our residents and visitors.

All hazards have been marked with red tape and signs have been posted indicating work is in progress. While the boardwalk is closed, signs and barricades will be posted at both ends of the boardwalk to prevent pedestrian use. Beachgoers should utilize the access point at Swallow Ave. and South Collier Blvd. where there is a County parking lot, or the pedestrian boardwalk at Maple Ave. and Collier Blvd. Members of the Marco Island Civic Association (MICA) can also access the beach using the MICA parking lots at South Beach or Residents Beach.
