Protecting
beaches and your right to access them
Every day,
we are losing access to our beaches.
Among
the three largest coastal states, Florida is the only state
that does not 
have comprehensive legislation to protect
beach access.The Florida Open
Beaches Foundation has proposed legislation to protect
your right of access. To read the act |click

Environmental impacts are
forever changing the beach you visit. Development,
jetties, seawalls, groins, and other impacts are 
causing critical
erosion of our beaches and destroying
the wildlife who live and nest there. We do not have an endless supply
of sand to renourish our beaches - we are running out while future
sources have not been clearly identified.
Florida has only one beach access point
for every 5 miles of coast.
That equates to about 10,000 people per access and
does not include the approximately 60 million tourists that visit the
state each year. We need your help now to preserve access to Florida
