Bathtub Reef Beach re-opens to the public

Bathtub Reef Beach is once again open to the public, but remains unguarded. Martin County crews have completed their dune restoration efforts. Last week, rough surf and high winds damaged the popular beach, forcing the County to declare a state of local emergency and take protective measures to save the dune and parking lot.

To check out live weather conditions at local beaches including Bathtub Reef Beach, check out Martin County's beach cams at: http://www.martin.fl.us/portal/page?_pageid=254,4200900&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL.
