The goal is to make the ramp stronger so it can better handle storms, and to replace the boardwalk people use to get to the beach.

They’re asking the public to share thoughts or concerns about the project between June 23 and July 22, 2025.

You can send in comments online or by mailing them to the park superintendent.
