The Hammock & Malacompra waterfront guide
In the Hammock, a shoreline concern may involve a tidal edge, a drainage canal or a public outfall. Identify that connection before planning a wall.

Get to know your waterfront
The Hammock’s waterfront context includes Bing’s Landing on the Intracoastal and the Malacompra drainage corridor. County planning identifies Armand Beach, Johnson Beach, Hammock Beach and Sea Colony as contributors to that system. A property concern here can therefore involve water coming toward the shoreline as well as water coming from it. Start with the flow route and the ownership of each affected feature.

Trace the public and private drainage interface
Have the assessor locate the private structure, public canal bank, culvert or outlet on one sketch. Ask the county which maintenance access must remain open. A public boat ramp is a geographic reference, not permission to stage heavy equipment; have the contractor confirm any loading location with its operator.
Local records worth knowing
- Bing’s Landing is on the Intracoastal west of A1A.
- The county describes the park as eight acres.
- The Malacompra drainage feature is approximately 4,200 feet long.
- County records name Armand Beach, Johnson Beach, Hammock Beach and Sea Colony in its basin.
- The corridor drains west across A1A toward the Intracoastal.
What could the work cost?
Include public-interface coordination and protection of drainage access. Separate private stabilization from a public canal-restoration scope, even if they meet at the property edge.
Published Florida planning ranges, not Palm Coast quotes. Confirm the full scope for your property.

The Hammock & Malacompra project questions
Will the Malacompra project repair my private wall?
The planning records describe a public drainage project. Confirm the current boundary and scope with the county; do not assume a privately owned structure is included.
