Rough weather prompts beach ramp, walkover closures in Volusia County
Volusia County officials have temporarily closed some beach access ramps and walkovers along the coast because of rough conditions.
The county is seeing "unusually high tides," rip currents, strong winds and erosion, according to a news release. Vehicle access to the beaches is also restricted because some conservation area poles were swept away.
"Volusia County is continually monitoring ocean conditions and will reopen all access points and restore beach driving as soon as ocean conditions allow full access," according to the county.
People can check the Volusia Beaches app for live updates on vehicle and pedestrian access and other beach conditions.
