The City of South Padre Island’s Neptune Circle, Beach Access #16 will undergo construction starting Monday, Dec. 9, 2024. The access is located on Gulf Boulevard between East Saturn Lane and East Venus Lane.
Construction is anticipated to last for at least 150 business days. Improvements will include a permanent restroom, a rinse station, parking lot improvements and an ADA dune walkover. The restroom design used for this project will be the same as the one used at Whitecap Circle, Sea Island Circle and Fantasy Circle.
“The City remains committed to enhancing our beach accesses and surrounding amenities to benefit our residents and visitors. As construction improvements are underway, we ask for the community’s patience and understanding while the access is temporarily closed,” stated Kristina Boburka, Shoreline Director. “The safety of our residents and visitors are always the City’s top priority and we look forward to sharing these updates with you soon.”
The community can access the beach by either Poinsettia Circle (Beach Access #15), located 0.11 miles to the south, or Starlight Circle (Beach Access #17), located 0.11 miles to the north.
This project was funded in part by a Texas Coastal Management Program grant approved by the Texas Land
Commissioner, providing financial assistance under the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended, awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Office for Coastal Management, pursuant to NOAA Award No. NA23NOS4190249.
