Moonlight State Beach Improvement Project
The Moonlight State Beach Improvement Project began Sept 4th. Moonlight State Beach is open during construction, however there are no fire rings or picnic tables at this time. The open sand area can be accessed from C Street or B Street. Click on the link for a map of public access routes.
We are sorry for any inconvenience due to construction. We look forward to a new facility that will last for years.
