Starting Tuesday, October 16th, the road to the beach will be closed to vehicular traffic for the replacement of a retaining wall and repairs to the concrete flume piers at the Gristmill. Visitors are welcome to park at the Cliffs Overlook and either walk down the road or take the nature trail leading to the beach.
We appreciate your patience as we work to repair key elements of the reconstructed Gristmill over the next 4–5 weeks. Stay tuned for project updates!
