Highway 87 Project


The following information was received from Commissioner Apffel's office on February 9.
Environmental Study: expected to be cleared by May, 2018
Project going to bid: May, 2018
Construction to begin: July, 2018
First 2 miles from Gilchrist towards High Island will be raised average about 12 inches. Rest of the roadway towards High Island will be raised average about 22 inches.
During Hurricane Harvey it is our understanding from the Galveston EOC which was in contact with emergency personal on the Peninsula that SH 87 was never under water and had no tidal impacts from the hurricane.

Help Support Peninsula Sports Park
Peninsula Sports Park is a 501c3 Non-Profit Charitable Organization. Our mission is to provide a clean and safe environment which promotes and enhances athletic opportunities for children and families on the entire Bolivar Peninsula. With Fundraisers and generous donations of Sponsorship, we were able to open our facility in Spring of 2017 giving children of the Peninsula the opportunity to play Youth League Baseball for the first time since 2008. Although we were able to complete the field for play, we still have several other projects we need funding to complete such as: Grass and landscaping, Completing permanent electrical service/lighting, Improving parking
Your donation to our organization would help us expedite completing these projects. PSP is available for everyone (not just residents of the peninsula) to utilize for Games, Tournaments or Special Events. For more information on scheduling or making a donation please contact Leslie Lowe @ 409-429-0980.

Car Wash Grand Opening
Let's all give John Waller and his NEW Crystal Beach Wash a Bolivar Peninsula Welcome on February 24th at 11 am for his Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting. John built this from the ground up and it's first class and lighted 24 hours a day. From the Beach Wash to the clean wide bays, John has it all. Have a boat? Crystal Beach Wash even has a motor flush for your boat. This is sure to be a hot spot this Spring and throughout 2018 as Bolivar Peninsula hasn't had a car wash since IKE back in 2008. Thank You John for bringing a much needed business to Bolivar Peninsula. Mark your calendars for February 24th at 11 am for the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting and show Crystal Beach Wash a Bolivar Peninsula Welcome.  
Brought to you by Bolivar Peninsula Tourism and
Visitors Center and The Beach Triton.

CHANGE of SEASON!
Since August of 2016, we have operated out of the little blue building behind Casa Mare at 2080 Hwy 87. Due to a change in our business model, we will no longer have a storefront starting in January and be totally mobile with our beach toy and party rentals on the Bolivar Peninsula. We are committed to the same level of customer service and look forward to this new season as we continue to grow our business. Please help us spread the word. Our landlord, Robert Williams, has been absolutely wonderful to work with and we hope their next tenant enjoys the space as much as we have. Our phone number will remain the same. Call us at 409-926-2914 to find out "where's Kurtie?"
