Keeping our West Beach Hangout guests informed.

Work is scheduled to begin Monday, June 1, weather permitting, on safety improvements to the two median openings between Cypress Bend Drive and Cotton Creek Drive as part of the Highway 59 Widening project.

To safely complete these ALDOT required modifications, the inside lane (closest to the median) will be closed during construction to protect workers. This phase could not start until the new third lane opened in the area a couple of weeks ago.

Please watch for road crews, drive safely and use caution when traveling through the area. 👍🏻

If you’ve spent time on our beaches recently, you’ve likely noticed sargassum washing ashore. While it may not be the picture-perfect backdrop for your beach photos, this seaweed plays an important role in our coastal environment.

Sargassum is a free-floating brown seaweed, or macroalgae, that forms large mats throughout the Gulf. These floating habitats provide shelter and protection for a variety of marine life, including young sea turtles, crabs, seahorses, and fish.

When sargassum reaches the shoreline, it continues to benefit the ecosystem by returning valuable nutrients to the beach and helping support a healthy coastal habitat.

So the next time you see sargassum along the shore, remember—it’s much more than seaweed. It’s a vital part of the natural cycle that helps keep our Gulf Coast thriving.
