Committee Plans Refurbishment at Old Pay Beach in Oak Bluffs

As a familiar stretch of Oak Bluffs waterfront continues its winter hibernation, the sand unblemished by human footprints or children's sand castles, plans are underway to breathe new life into what was once one of the busiest beaches on the Island.

 

 

 

After years of planning, discussion and often heated debate, the Oak Bluffs conservation commission Tuesday unanimously endorsed the $10 million Steamship Authority plan to expand and improve the ferry terminal on Sea View avenue.

Commission members voted 4-0 to approve an order of conditions, which is the permit required under the Massachusetts wetlands protection act and the town wetlands bylaw.
