The City of Treasure Island is pleased to announce that it has recently installed an ADA beach access mat called a MobiMat. The mat was installed on Friday, April 27th at Gulf Front Park, which is located at 10400 Gulf Blvd. Gulf Front Park is the busiest beach access location in the City, providing access to the City’s main beach area.
The MobiMat RecPath is a removable access pathway made out of recycled materials. It is approximately 400 ft. extending towards the Gulf and 6.5 ft. wide.
