Beginning Friday, September 5, 2025, Turner Beach Park will be closed to the public for staging of equipment and materials for the Captiva Beach Renourishment project. The City will provide updates as they are received from the Captiva Erosion Prevention District, who is managing the project. The facility is expected to reopen in October, weather permitting.

The following information was received from the Captiva Erosion Prevention District:

"A new beach renourishment project will soon begin on Captiva to strengthen our shoreline, protect property, and preserve the natural beauty of our beaches. Construction is scheduled to run continuously, 24 hours a day, over an estimated 56-day period to minimize overall disruption and complete the work as quickly as possible. Once finished, the project will provide long-lasting benefits for residents, visitors, and the island's unique environment.

For more information, please contact the Captiva Erosion Prevention District at (239) 472-2472."
