What is a dune crossover, and do you need one?

Nothing beats that first look at the ocean when you come over the dune. What a dune crossover is and how it protects the dune and gets you to the beach.
Body

Short answer: a dune crossover is a walk built over the dune so you can reach the beach. Custom walks and dune crossovers are designed to protect the environment while giving you a safe, durable path to enjoy the outdoors.

Why build a dune crossover?

Nothing beats that first look at the ocean when you come over the dune. Crossovers let you reach areas that were hard to get to while preserving the natural surroundings.

Where do you build them?

Recently our crew was out on the Florida East Coast working on a beach access. See a completed composite dune crossover in Vero Beach, plus related walks such as an elevated boardwalk to a waterfront home and a mangrove boardwalk in Malabar. We also build custom pedestrian and vehicle bridges for safe access to hard-to-reach areas.

Do I need a permit?

Once the plans are approved, we'll handle all paperwork submission to local and state agencies for permitting.
