More Renourishment Sand on Wabasso Beach- Ugh!

[Bigcypresshunter]

More renourishment sand is being trucked in for Wabasso Beach and the Disney Resort near Corrigans. More dirt crap. The Treasure Beaches will never be the same. Are the Treasure hunting days at Wabasso gone forever? ...'Gone With the Wind'. Its so sad.

Wabasso Beach closed for renourishment through Thursday

WABASSO — Prospective Wabasso Beach Park visitors were turned away Monday, as they will be through Thursday, while the Disney Vero Resort trucks in 3,700 cubic yards of new sand for its beachfront.

Indian River County Coastal Engineer James Gray said the county agreed to close the public beach park for the private project in return for up to 500 cubic yards of free sand from Disney for the park’s beachfront.

Some visitors didn’t take the closed park too happily.

“This is a joke,” Indian Trails resident George DiBenedetto said, complaining about the county being behind with its own project, the $1 million restoration of the hurricane-punched beach park.
