Description
As Hurricane Idalia slammed into the Gulf Coast shoreline, Tampa Bay-area beaches took the brunt of the storm. The sand was forced inland as every single Pinellas County beach suffered severe erosion.
Now, dozens of public beach access points are closed as the crossover ramps have no sand beneath them to support them.
"It's so bad that underneath the walkway, there's no sand, there isn't any sand," Indian Rocks Beach Mayor Cookie Kennedy said. On Friday morning, Kennedy held a press briefing where she pleaded for action to be taken to help our beaches.
