Beach holidays have long been a Northern Irish tradition how readily the country flees the chilly conditions for golden sands, sun loungers and the obligatory bucket and spade. But I have a confession: despite many summers spent building sandcastles or spying on crabs scuttling along the shoreline, now, beach holidays leave me feeling idle.
St. Andrew’s State Park receives grant for renourishment Kellie Sanchez
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) -
A local beach will soon see improvements.
A $4 million grant has been approved for St. Andrew’s State Park.
The money will be used to renourish the beach.
Officials said it’s needed in St. Andrew’s after several years of erosion.
Beach management consultant Lisa Armbruster said they apply for state grants every year, but the St. Andrew’s State Park portion is new.
“There’s a lot of erosion there, a lot of steep cliffs there, not a lot of beach accessibility, so we’ve been working to try to include them in the project,” Armbruster said.
