PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — Communities along the Bay area coastlines are still cleaning up from the storm surge from Hurricane Idalia.

On Treasure Island, city officials are asking people to stay away from certain spots so crews can continue to repair what was damaged from all the flooding.

Sunset Beach on Treasure Island got some of the worst damage from the storm, city officials said.

The city’s Parks and Recreation department said the Sunset Beach pavilion got some of the worst damage from Idalia’s storm surge.

Now heading into Labor Day weekend, crews are working hard to clean up and repair as much as they can around town.

Sand covered many of the streets and structures around Treasure Island and other coastal cities in Pinellas County. Also, multiple beaches are dealing with erosion as a result of the storm.

Some palm trees had also fallen over because of storm surge and strong winds.

It’s why the city’s police chief, John Barkley, is saying that they need people to stay away so they can clean everything up before visitors make their way back to Treasure Island.

“The residents need some time and they need some space to recover,” Barkley said. “Please give them that time in that room. Our officers are going to be down there checking to make sure that people who are on Sunset Beach have a business and a reason to be there.”

Another way they’re checking that people are staying away from Sunset Beach is by having road signs around saying that beach parking is closed and that they will be towing cars.

City officials said that rentals and weddings that were planned for this weekend at the Sunset Beach pavilion have been canceled and they say they’re trying to find other spots on the beach to have those weddings.
