Listen "Hershey Beach Restoration: Short-Term Closure, Long-Term Gain"

Episode Synopsis

Galveston's Hershey Beach is closed until the end of the year for a major restoration project aimed at combating coastal erosion. Crews are working to restore the shoreline with new sand and stabilization efforts to protect homes, infrastructure, and the beach itself. While the closure is a temporary inconvenience, officials say the long-term benefits of a stronger, more resilient coastline will be worth it, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable beach for years to come. Beachgoers are encouraged to explore other access points on Galveston's west end during the project. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
