Right Now
The South Beach Trail Boardwalk is a 1,000 foot long section over Lake Holly along Pacific Avenue. It is 12 feet wide and features a gazebo and LED lighting. It is fully accessible from both ends.
The Boardwalk cost $1.1 million to design and construct. The majority of the project was funded by a federal trail grant, with the remaining funding from the City’s Tourist Growth Investment Fund (TGIF). Residential real estate tax revenue was not used to fund this project.
