Canaveral National Seashore is set to begin construction to rehabilitate a key public access
area in the Apollo District, New Smyrna Beach. The boardwalk located at Turtle Mound will be closed, effective Monday, April 15^th, 2019. This closure is expected to last 3 to 5 months. The closure may be extended due to inclement weather. The Turtle Mound parking area and shoreline will remain open and accessible, unless needed for staging materials. Turtle Mound is an archaeological site of national significance and extreme care is taken in design and construction, allowing visitors an outstanding view of Canaveral National Seashore from the top of the mound. We appreciate your patience as our skilled National Park Service workers complete this complicated job. This project is funded using your recreational fee dollars.
