In my note yesterday I mentioned that we have had a beach restoration. Now if you have never seen how this takes place, it is quite the sight! I had never seen this done before so I have added (Below) a video from when the project had just started in the beginning of March 2020. I hope you like it!

Yesterday I mentioned the Holiday Surf & Racquet Club (HSRC) will have it’s beach opening up in moderation and here is what we can expect:

All unincorporated Okaloosa County beaches will open May 1st, 2020 at the following times:
6:30 am - 9:00 am
4:30 pm - 7 pm

This will be the first phase of three and as the County transitions through each phase hours will be increased until the beaches are opened for complete enjoyment! We will have to wait and see what, if any, restrictions are put in place for using the beaches. Such when will beach service start again (Chairs & Umbrellas). Regardless things are moving in a POSITIVE direction!
