Beach Access Edit page

The developer of Marshview’s 58 townhomes secured an easement to give Marshview's owners and tenants access to the beach.  The easement runs along the south property line at 4430 Coastal Highway.  

While this access was closed after Hurricane Matthew in 2016, it has since been opened to Marshview residents.  There is a gate heading down to the beach.  

Please note that the gate code for the beach access is 123124.

This code is provided for the exclusive use of our residents and should be kept confidential. For security reasons, we ask that you do not share this code with non-residents under any circumstances.
