A temporary lifeguard stand opened in March on Lantana Beach.
“Town staff built the one on the dune,” said Lantana Town Manager Deborah Manzo. “We are hoping that the town will obtain approval from the state to put a (permanent) stand back on the beach, but we have to go through an application process to obtain approval (from the state’s Department of Environmental Protection) for that.”
The temporary tower, which cost about $5,000 including $700 for the roof, extends from the boardwalk near the showers.
The original lifeguard stand was swept to sea in October during Hurricane Sandy.
