Stuart Florida - Bathtub Beach Reopens
June 13th, 2008
Stuart, FL - Bathtub Beach is FINALLY going to be re-opened to the public this coming Monday. Everyone had been expecting the beach to open for about a week now but delays in hiring life guards for the beach have kept it closed until now. According to a story I read over at TCPalm, there are still waiting for up to four more lifeguards that haven’t responded to the job offers they made them but are planning to open Monday anyway.
The city has cleaned up the parking lot and the bathrooms in preparation for the re-opening but warns there are still under water dangers that were not there the last time you went! Be cautious the first time you go remembering there are things there you can’t necessarily see, like tree stumps!
Overall it should be a fun and safe place to go to the beach with the Bathtub Reef still providing a barrier from the waves making it a calm place to enjoy a dip or a cool place to go snorkel. If you do decide to snorkel or just venture out to the reef itself, PLEASE keep in mind that it’s a living reef and is very fragile to the touch. Look but don’t touch! Enjoy!
