Check out this thread. According to Kurt, One Seagrove has put some makeshift steps on their public beach access. There's also photos of it on one of the other threads.

I'd like seagrove walkover info also, if possible.. we're staying at Beachside condos, does anyone know how the beach is looking around there these days?

And as for the canopies, I think that people's biggest problem with them is that some guests leave them, and other beach items (toys, chairs, shoes, coolers) on the beach overnight. This can be a problem for the sea turtles, and they can get buried in the sand or washed away, also it's just ugly. Plus, a lot of people just abandon them if they get damaged by wind, etc... who wants a pile of twisted poles left on the beach?
Anyway, I don't think it's the canopy itself that is the problem, just what you do with it.

Thanks for info!! I understand completely! Never thought it was real smart to leave things on the beach overnite - it's like putting up a sign "take me-I'm free!!!!"

Tell your son that they are both open!

The beaches everywhere are about the same. Not very white except near the water where we are getting some nice new sand. There is a good bit of sargassum weed on the beaches. The dunes were hit hard. The county has started beach scraping so it's hard to say where they might be or have been. I heard they were starting in Blue Mountain Beach and Seagrove.

I've been here almost a week and have this to say about the beach. We've been to Inlet Beach, Lakewood access, and Grayton Beach State Park. All have nice white sand near the shoreline and the water is a perfect temperature and looks good. Some areas have more seaweed than the others. The dunes in these areas are indeed damaged, and my very sincere take on the dunes is this: When we look back from the shoreline toward the dunes, rather than complain about how they look, we should all take a moment with our families and friends to give the dunes a standing ovation. For most people (except for some people with gulf front property), they did their job and protected our beautiful 30A from serious damage. They certainly deserve a round of applause, no matter what they look like. And by applauding our dunes no matter what they look like, we'll be teaching our children (and ourselves) to appreciate nature in all her glory, in her natural state.

Boy, I sure do love this area! Sigh, it's so very good to be here and I'm sorry we'll be leaving in a few days and look forward to coming back mid-August.
