Google Earth is a virtual globe program that maps the earth by the superimposition of images obtained from satellite imagery, aerial photography and GIS 3D globe. The viewer is available for free download at Google Earth. The product is designed for use on newer computers with broadband or higher levels of connection.

Once you have downloaded Google Earth, you can click on this Current Beach Access Map File* link and zoom-in to the shoreline area in which you are interested to see the current access status.

**Please Note: As you close out of Google Earth, the program will ask you if you wish to place these items in “My Places”. To insure that you continue to view the most current beach access map, select "No".
