Major Renovations Get Underway Dec. 5 On ​Clearwater Beach Walk

CLEARWATER, FL — Beach Walk, the winding pedestrian promenade that extends from South Gulfview Boulevard to Mandalay Avenue on Clearwater Beach, will undergo major renovations and refurbishments beginning Dec. 5 with an estimated completion date of August 2023.

Access to the beach and businesses along Beach Walk will remain open to business owners and beach goers.

Beach Walk will be closed in sections beginning on the south end of Clearwater Beach working toward Pier 60. Businesses located near the construction area will be notified before the fencing is erected for each section.

The goal for this project will be to keep access to the beach and businesses as open as possible, temporarily halt construction during popular times such as spring break, and complete the project as efficiently and safely as possible, said Clearwater Senior Public Information Coordinator Alexandra Chandler Baier.

Since its opening in 2008, Beach Walk has hosted thousands of visitors each day. The area requires daily maintenance and has had several amenities replaced such as light bollards, benches, showers and landscaping throughout the years.

This is the first major renovation project for the entire Beach Walk area.

To minimize the amount of manual maintenance, the city of Clearwater is adding an innovative cleaning layer that will require less staff maintenance and power washing. Other improvements include new signage and shade structures, renovation of the beach showers and refurbishment of the water fountains.

The project is estimated to cost $1,333,147.
