Subject: BEACH ACCESS
Questions have been recently received about beach access in the area of 59th and Collins
Avenue.
Two properties are in this area that at some point in time may have been used by the public
or perceived to be a beach access point. The former Priticin Hotel site and the Bath Club
are the two subject properties.
The only beach access point that is available to the public will be the Bath Club access upon
the completion of their construction project. Until the construction is completed, the site is
under the control of the contractor and not publicly available. A copy of the Bath Club
development order is attached for reference. The former Priticin Hotel site has never been
an official access and is not intended to become one.
As the historic availability of beach access points is affected by construction activities, there
is likely to be the perception that an access has been eliminated. Certainly during the
construction period this will be the case; however, the access is to be provided and or
~~tore;.J in:cated in the development order.
