I drove by Blind Creek Beach this past Wednesday
I was in the Ft. Pierce area running errands and decided to drive by the entrance of BCB to see the progress.
A few observations;
There is a lot of curbing in the lot with islands. While it looks pretty, it greatly reduces the amount of parking spaces. I am sure the curbing is to keep people from parking in and damaging the green spaces.
There is a pre-fab building being constructed in the west (road) end of the parking lot. Is this where the rest rooms and showers will be? If it is, it will mean walking or driving across the parking lot, obviously not nude, to get to the shower or restroom :-( The only reason I can think of is if it is on a septic system it may have to be a certain distance from the ocean, or if it is connected to a sewer system the drain lines may not be able to have the necessary pitch to drain properly. If this is where it will be, it is still better than what we had which was nothing except porta-potties
From what I see, the December 1 opening date looks possible, but considering the progress, or lack thereof on this project, I think it is unlikely.
While I could not enter, I took a couple pics from the entrance.
Here is the latest from TCN 12/1 I posted this on TN
"Hi Mark,
TCN & BLIND CREEK BEACH HAPPENINGS
Update on the Parking Area Construction
We wish we had some definitive information to give you, but we don't. The latest update from the county as of last week was "approximately the first week of December" for opening of the parking lot. As soon as we have more news, we will send a separate email with an update."
From what I have read in previous TCN messages is that the county is not very good about updating the progress on the project. TCN has to pry information from them.
To quote a line from a great old Paul Newman movie (Cool Hand Luke) " What we got here is a failure to communicate"
It seems kind of a shame that there is/was not more open communication between the county and TCN, being that TCN represents the majority of the visitors to BCB. I may be wrong, but I don't think that TCN was consulted about the initial design of the lot.
Hopefully it will be open soon.
Several hours later, this arrived;
Several hours later this arrived from TCN;
"Hi Mark,
UPDATE ON THE PARKING AREA
12/1/25
We just received an update from County Parks & Recreation. Unfortunately, the parking area WILL NOT be opening this week. Construction is not yet completed and there were a couple of setbacks. Once completed, there are a lot of agencies that have to sign off on the project before the gates can be opened.
We will provide you with another update next week.
We were once again asked to remind beachgoers to STAY OUT of the construction zone!"
