Immediate help could come in the form of a pedestrian corridor. The prohibition would apply to both commercial and private set-ups. The corridor was cited as necessary to ensure access for emergency vehicles and so that beach users could walk unimpeded from one end of the beach to the other. Several legal experts said the city and county had jurisdiction to regulate what uses are allowed on the sandy section of the beach. A more permanent solution could come from beach restoration.
Restoration involves pumping more sand onto the beach.
Before the process begins, agreements with Gulf-front landowners are signed providing that the new beach becomes state property. The additional beach gives all involved more room to spread out and also protects upland development in the case of storms or hurricanes. Drawbacks to renourishment are it's a slow and expensive process. Part of the expense also must be borne by local government. Making better use of Henderson Beach State Park and James Lee park was also a favorite topic of discussion.
