WHO: Beach renourishment contractors for City of Venice and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
WHAT: Parking lot closure
WHEN: June 10th, 2026 through Fall 2026
WHERE: North Jetty parking lot
WHY: Contractors working on the Venice Island Beach Renourishment Project, which will restore approximately 3.2 miles of critically eroded shoreline, will utilize a staging area at North Jetty Park.
To accommodate project operations, a portion of the southeast section of the parking lot will be temporarily fenced off for contractor use (see below). The closure is anticipated to begin as early as June 10, 2026, and is expected to remain in place through fall 2026.
The kayak launch area located directly north of the staging area will remain accessible to the public.
This temporary closure is a necessary part of the project and will help ensure that the beach renourishment work can be completed safely and efficiently. The project will provide long-term benefits by restoring beaches that have experienced significant erosion from storms since the previous renourishment effort in 2015.
