The St. Augustine Beach Civic Association has faced ups and downs, on and offs, and other obstacles in its efforts to move forward with the 19th season of the Wednesday night Music by the Sea summer concerts at Pier Park. The good news, as of this writing, is that the shows will go on, but with some alterations and conditions. Two weeks ago, they were looking at ticket requirements with limited attendance in order to comply with local and federal COVID-19 regulations. That has changed in the past week.

North Ponte Vedra Beach project gets funding January 27, 2021, by Zlatan Hrvacevic
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District will receive a $500,000 congressional allocation under the Fiscal Year 2021 Work Plan for the Army Civil Works to begin a Coastal Storm Risk Management (CSRM) Study of North Ponte Vedra Beach, St. Johns County, Fla.
North Ponte Vedra Beach, home to some 2,000 permanent residents, includes approximately 10 miles of Atlantic coastal shoreline that run south from Duval County toward St. Augustine, Fla.
In 2016 Hurricane Matthew caused severe damage along the narrow beach in North Ponte Vedra. The storm surge was sufficient to cause an estimated $100 million of structural damage to approximately 265 homes and eroded an average of 30 feet of beach along the coast.
