It will start with a pipeline installation on Indian Shores to restore sand for eligible properties.

Only property owners who have provided temporary construction easements will get sand.

As of last week, that included 16 homeowners. If you’re an interested property owner, the county is still accepting easements.

Indian Shores will remain mostly open during construction, but parts of the beach and parking areas will close temporarily.
