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.

Oceanfront Beach Replenishment 2025

• View Project Summary

The 2025 replenishment project began in late January along the Resort Area Beach between 15th and 45th Street. It’s a mitigation and environmental sustainability effort restoring eroded coastal areas damaged by severe climate conditions, such as storms, winds, waves and flooding. 

With the last beach replenishment effort carried out in 2019, the City is following its beach replenishment implementation schedule of every five to seven years to protect and preserve our coastline.

The Virginia Beach Oceanfront will remain open during the replenishment project outside the orange safety fenced areas.
