Beach Replenishment
Replenishing sand on our beaches is an essential environmental and economic initiative to protect and preserve our coastline and properties.
Current Status
The beach replenishment project at Croatan Beach has been temporarily paused due to loggerhead sea turtle nesting activity, in accordance with federal environmental guidelines. Because hopper dredging is restricted from Sept. 1 to Nov. 14 in these areas, the contractor plans to return in November, after the hatching and migration period has ended.
It’s estimated that $20.2 million in investments by the City of Virginia Beach in replenishment efforts along the Resort Area Beach since 2002 have averted more than $1 billion in storm-related damages.
