Progress (or lack thereof) report
I found this on St Lucie County's website;
"Blind Creek Beach Parking Lot
Location: 5460 S Ocean Drive on South Hutchinson Island
Reason for Closure: The parking lot at Blind Creek Beach is closed for renovations, including improvements to the parking area and restroom facilities.
The beach will remain open with an alternative pedestrian access. Beachgoers who wish to continue to use Blind Creek Beach can access the designated clothing-optional section by parking at the Little Mud Creek parking lot to the north and proceeding south along the sidewalk on A1A to a temporary beach access entrance or access from the beachside.
Expected Reopening: The park is expected to reopen in March 2026."
MARCH 2026???!!! What on earth is going on? The construction was done in the beginning of December and all they were waiting for was various agencies to sign off on it. My guess is one or more of the agencies is balking on it.
This was originally supposed to be done in July 2025
Totally ridiculous. Don't they realize how much this has and is hurting tourism in the area?
I think at this point most of us wish they would have just left it alone.
I have this sneaking suspicion they are going to pull the plug on the nudist section. My girl and I have been going to Haulover lately.
I doubt that, but since there were several government agencies that had to sign off on it, all it takes is the head of one of the agencies to have a bug up his/her ass about the nudism to delay everything. If they ever did pull the plug on the nude beach, the county would have just wasted a lot of money on a beach that would see very little use (just look at little mud before the construction at BCB started), and someone would have to answer to that.
By the way, the latest excuse for the delay was some sort of electrical problem.
