Clearwater Beach gets new lifeguard towers after damage from last year's hurricanes
CLEARWATER, Fla. (WFLA) — Clearwater Beach received new towers Thursday to replace the two that were lost when back-to-back hurricanes swept through the area last fall. The towers, staffed by Clearwater Fire & Rescue Department beach lifeguards, were the only two of seven to suffer damage when several feet of storm surge swamped the beach. 'Our lifeguards are excited to get these two new stands back in place,' said Patrick Brafford, beach lifeguard manager. 'It gets us back to where we were with pre-hurricane coverage.' The new towers are made of durable, marine-grade material, making them easier to move. Their total cost was $133,475. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
