The following update is from the Gulf Islands National Seashore Facebook page.
UPDATE: Perdido Key Area Facilities
Sand clearing is underway at Johnson Beach. Thanks to newly installed metal roofs and hardware replacement projects completed this spring, the pavilions and restrooms suffered only minor damage. Johnson Beach Road is also buried in sand, and will be cleared when equipment can be moved from J. Earle Bowden Way and Fort Pickens Road.
Beach crossovers and the Perdido Key Discovery Trail were significantly damaged or destroyed. At this time the area remains closed to all public access, we hope to have additional information later this week. Learn more about the National Park Service's Hurricane Sally response at
