Public Beach Access Locations Florida

For full FGDC metadata record, please click here. These data represent a descriptive and photographic inventory of public beach access locations throughout the state of Florida. These data do not represent a complete and comprehensive inventory of public beach access locations. During the time period of data collection Florida experienced numerous hurricanes and tropical storms. Therefore many public beach access sites were either closed, destroyed or otherwise not accessible during the time of data collection and are not included in these data. Additionally, a URL hyperlink field was added to jump to an online photo gallery of each beach access location in May 2007. New beach access locations were added during the Geographic Response Plan workshop process by the US Coast Guard and their respective Area Committees as part of the larger project termed the Digital Area Contingency Plan.
