The location of the facility is anticipated to be south of CR 399 (Via De Luna Drive) at the existing dune walkover across from Portofino Condos. The project will entail the reconstruction of the dune walkover as well as an observation platform.

County Staff will manage the project from design solicitation through construction completion.  It is anticipated that a maintenance agreement will be drafted and executed between Escambia County and Portofino Island Resort prior to construction completion. The maintenance agreement will establish a term length for maintenance, daily maintenance operations, and times of day for the facility to be locked and unlocked.
