Flagler County, FL - Flagler County officials are asking residents to help remind guests and visitors that walking over the dunes and beach driving are prohibited.
"We've been getting reports that people are walking over the dunes, and worse, driving on the beach since we had to open some access areas so that work can be done to restore our failing dune system," said Tim Teller, public lands and natural resources manager. "We know residents are aware of the importance of protecting dunes that were left frail after Hurricane Matthew, but we would appreciate it if everyone would get the word out to others."
Flagler County has been working diligently to create a comprehensive dune system that creates conditions that are better than those pre-storm conditions along the 18 miles of beach within the county.
