Beach Renourishment Project Update 🚧🏝️

Crews completed Reach 1 of the beach renourishment project yesterday afternoon, Aug. 30, and are now mobilizing pipelines and equipment to Reach 2. Sand pumping is expected to begin later today near the Wild Dunes Property Owners Beach House.

Marinex placed approximately 900,000 cubic yards of sand along Reach 1, which extended from Mariner’s Walk to Dewees Inlet. For perspective, that is enough sand to fill roughly 275 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

On Friday, members of the City’s Beach Preservation Committee joined Marinex at the construction site near Ocean Club to inspect the completed work and review the project’s progress. Construction remains ahead of schedule.

During Reach 2, crews will place approximately 800,000 cubic yards of sand between the Wild Dunes Property Owners Beach House and 56th Avenue. Work in this area is expected to take approximately 45 days.

Once Reach 2 is complete, crews will move to Reach 3 on the south end of the island, extending from the Isle of Palms Pier to Breach Inlet.
