Here's a story on it. I pasted a snippet.

"Obviously, there's been severe beach erosion and some damage to the boardwalks. The beaches are closed now, and while we hope to get them open again as soon as we can, we're not going to do it until it's safe out there," Louthlain said.

The danger keeping the beaches closed is remaining debris from wooden boardwalks that was swept onto the sand during the storm. Cleanup crews are expected to be working on the beaches soon, piling the splintered wood for removal. The beaches, but not the water, could be reopened as early as Thursday, said Ed Baltzley, division director of Emergency Response for Walton County. "There's lots of debris, lots of damage out there," he said. "We don't have a definite timetable on opening the beaches, but we're hoping for Thursday."
