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 is now complete. The contractor is demobilizing equipment through approximately Dec. 20, pending weather or equipment delays. The beach remains open, except for any areas marked by orange safety fencing. In total, the project added more than 125,000 cubic yards of sand to the shoreline.
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.
