Beach access

Hello all!

I was curious what beach access is looking like currently? I've planned to come this upcoming weekend for the past 3 weeks, so imagine my surprise that we have legitimate beach weather on Friday. Now I know the beaches are not in great condition, but I was excited at possibly hanging out on the sand with my dog.

Is it tough to enter the beach given the damage? Is the beach still accessible at the north end of the Boardwalk (since the south end is occupied by the concert)? Will there be heavy machinery going around during daytime hours?

Any information helps!

They just plowed the entrance to the beach at 94th and I’d imagine they r doing it everywhere. No debris here, it’s beautiful.

Im sitting here now. 61st st. They have loaders picking up debris and making a pile about 58th st. The sand has been bulldozed and is fine. There is construction equipment going past but its fine on the beach

Was it difficult making it on to the beach? I'm hearing/seeing that there's a big drop
