PROJECTS

ELECTRIC BEACH WHEELCHAIRS

Note:  Not currently available; we were recently notified by the Parks Department ADA director that the most popular M-D beachside park (Haulover) did not have the personnel to manage the chairs.  A proposal by B.E.A.C.H.E.S. to take over management of the chairs was rejected.  We have been told the chairs will be moved to another park.

BEACHSIDE SHOWERS – phase 1

A shower station on the naturist beach allows visitors to rinse off before dressing & entering the clothing-required section of the park.

A proposed second shower station has been delayed indefinitely due to lack of funding.

CHICKEE HUT SHELTERS

Three chickee hut shelters have been erected on the beach.  The huts provide welcome shelter on the unshaded beach and are also used to host special events.

GRANT WRITERS WANTED

B.E.A.C.H.E.S. Is seeking grant writers to apply for additional grants to fund
capital improvements and service programs.
