Why is the Pebbles Beach access closed?
In early February 2020, there was some land slippage at two properties on Franklin Road which overlooks Pebbles Beach. In 2022, the Town hired Geotechnical Engineers to complete an assessment of the stairs, and due to slope stability concerns, we are currently restricting access to the beach for safety reasons.
When will it be reopened?
A contract to replace the stairs and conduct slope stabilization at Pebbles Beach has been awarded to NB Contracting. Construction is scheduled to begin on May 27.
Update: July 9, 2024
Crews have encountered some unexpected challenges with the subsurface conditions, requiring extra engineering and construction. As a result, the project is now estimated to be completed by the end of summer 2024. We’re disappointed that the beach won’t open as soon as we’d hoped, but we’re committed to delivering a safe and beautiful space for the public to enjoy.
The park will be closed to the public during this period.
Thank you for your understanding and support!
