• Abstract:
  Beach parking adjacent to the ever changing coastline of the Lower/Outer Cape is subject to erosion. In order to maintain access to the beaches without paving over additional NPS land, this study looks at alternative parking locations and the feasibility of running shuttle services from satellite parking areas to the beach. The study assesses current and future beach parking availability, considering visitor demand and erosion potential, on the Lower/Outer Cape over a 20-year period, and identifies potential ways to maintain and improve access. Direction is provided for the towns of the Lower/Outer Cape and the National Seashore for implementing the shuttle concepts developed in the report.
