Winter storm undid months of Pinellas beach restoration work, officials say

Despite the damaged dunes, many beach access spots will still be open for the holidays.

Erosion is visible near the edge of a beach dune in Indian Rocks Beach on Wednesday. Just as Pinellas County neared the end of its monthslong dune restoration project, the severe winter storm last weekend washed away nearly half of its progress on some beaches. [ JEFFEREE WOO | Times ]
