On many of Florida!s b - caches, sand -dunes and.coastalvegetation provide significant protection to upland!
property, upland development, and the,beach dune system; The Florida Department of EnvironmentaL
Protection (DEP) encourages,the design of beac - h access, including beach and dund walkovers�:to protect the
dune�topography and,dune vegetationfrom pedestrian traffic and allow for the natural recovery of damaged or
eroded dunes.
PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
A. crinit p
p " ',frcim, DEP jsjreq4ircd forrconstruction, of walkovers on -most sandy beaches, fronting on the o en
waters of the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of'Mexico. In areas where a Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL)
has been established puisuarit.toi provisions of Section F61.053, F - lorida Statutes! (RS.), a permit is%required for
all excavation, construction, or other activities with the potential to cause beach erosion or damage coastal
I is required for
-vegetation,. On, sandy shorelines where,a,CCCL line has riot been established, a permit
entrisiructignacti.vifies,w r i t . hin 50 feet�of the mean high waterline (pee.Section'l 61.051,�'F.9.)-
Permits for walkovers.contain,standard conditions thatrequire consiruction,to, be conducted,inla.manner,that
minimizes short-term distuibance,to�the dune systemiand'exi�tiiig,�egeration. Replacing vegetation destroyed
durm n for beach �and,diine stabilization- is required. Only limited
� � g co struction with similar plants suitablii:
excavation for the placement, of support postg is authorized!, and construction of walkt:ivemmay not9ccur
during the marine turtic-ncsting season, which extends May I through October 31 (exqept:for'Brcvard through
Dade counties, which extends March, I through October'31).
GENERAL SITING GUIDELINES
Thewalkover shall be designed an(Lsitedto protc&dune� features, to rninijriize�tjistur6ance of native vegetation,
to,not restrict lateralbeach access and touninimize the. amount of construction material ihat maybecorric debris
dI
unng,a:stonn. Elevated walkovers are� not required for all beach a6cems, such as in sparsely vegetated, low
profile dune; areas where on -grade sand or shell patlig are suitable for controlling foot traffic. Walkover& should
gencraltybe constructed perpendicular to the shoreline and extend at least to the�scaward toe of the ftontal dune
orthe existing line of vdgetatiori butmot farther thanT 10. feet seawardidthe vegetation. The optimum slting�of
the,wilkciver structure,can he detcraiinedbyleontacting A CCCL field inspectori.
GENERAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
W91koveKs, are dicgigried.to bqminor; 9xpenda - ble structures that pose a minimal interference with coastal
processes and generate mi . nimal amounts of debris. Walkovers constructed across nafiveibeacfi And dune.
vegetation should be post�supported' and elevated a sufficient distance abovelthe existing or proposed -
,Vegetation to allow,f6r sand build-up, and clearance above the vegetation. Whenever possible, stairways and
r I amps lodding: fromihe dune bluff or.crest, down to the beach should be designed.with postsithat completely
span, the seaward, slope of th c dune. Tbe'structfurcishould be designed to minimize the quantity of material used
in construct . ion, such as avoiding the use of vertical wood pickets, and reducing the lengthand width of
construction on the beach.
Single family walkovers should not: exceed 4 feet, in overall width and -the support posts,gliall, riot be greater. than
4-inch wide . posts, Multi-fAmily Walkovcrs shall not: exceed 6. Peet in overall width and the support posts:shall
not be greater than, 64nch wide posts. Roundposts arepr6ferred to square.posts. Support posts shall not be

a permit for a walkover that contains switchbacks, long ramps or other,features required to,comply with the
Americaus with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guideline.si
WALKOVER ELEVATION GUIDELINES
Site conditions affecting walkover heights vary as the!structure traverses1fid beach/dune system. The.ground
cover changes frorm the uplands, commonly covered with woody scrub or�coastaf strand:vegetation (saw
painittto/sPa?grape/scrub oaks),over a dune bluff or one or several dune crest(i), covered with either coastal'
strandw coastal grassland (sea oais/bitter panicum/marsh hay), dowwthe slope wthe dfy sand beach, either
uncovered bare escarpment or partially covered with.beach/chme vegetation (railroad vine/sca rbcket1sea, oats).
The type of structure and height from the. dune bluff or crest down to the beach. also must be considered in
setting the walkover elevation. Increascd,elevation of the structure,requires a longer run to the beach and
addit , ional construction material within.ihis,high ene.rgyarea. This creates.additionail storm generated debris, sea,
turtle nesting habitat irripact§,'gandJosses, due to -storm wave scour, and interferes witlipeople's ability to walk
along,the beach.
Walkover.E�levations.ifi.UI31�mds. The upland environment of coastal scrub/coastal strand habitat is
characterized by more stable soil conditions-witht less blowing sands and infrequent storm overwash events. The
:stable conditions allow for the developmcnt�ofa, mature woody Vegetation and saw palmetto dominated plant
conmi�nity. to addition to thick above ground, stem and"Icaf vegetation between 5 and 15 feet in height, this
plarit community has.an. extensive below ground woody -root rrl�t; Walkovers in these u
,pland habitats need be
elevated only a sufficientdistan.ce above the ground to avoid disturbance of the soil and;root systems or -cutting
of low trdo, andpalmetiq trunks, An elevation of the stringers from.6" to T-0" above existing grade should be,
suffiptent. Walkover elevations crosgingtoastal wetlands within�upland- areas indy'require increased, elevations.
Elevation, of , the walkover above,the leaf canopy is , in most casm impractical in coastal scrub or coastal strand'
habitats.
Walkover Elevations over Pluf& The low stringer elevation recommerided-for uplands can be carried to an
eroded bluff line. This will reduce thelengthofararrip or walkover down to-thebeach,Again the�objcctivc the
