Beach Renourishment Phases 1 & 2 Project Update 19

Construction activities at Port Royal and Singleton Beach areas

December 12, 2025

This Week's Progress (December 6-12, 2025)

Marinex Construction continued installing pipes to the Bay Point Shoals Borrow Area — the sand source — for phase two of beach renourishment in the central part of the island, but recent weather forced work to pause.

Cape Romain Contractors worked on the breakwater structures at Pine Island Beach, a project that will take several months to complete.

Looking Ahead (December 13-19, 2025)

Marinex Construction expects to be back on schedule early this week, weather permitting, as crews work to install the final stretch of pipeline to the sand source and begin placing sand in the Singleton Beach area.

Marinex Construction will pause operations from December 22–27 to allow crew members time to be with their families during the holidays.

Cape Romain Contractors will continue working on the breakwater structures at Pine Island Beach. Pine Island Beach remains closed during this phase.

Please be mindful of the following:

• Portions of Islanders' Beach Park will be closed to vehicular traffic and parking from now through the duration of the beach renourishment project. The public is advised to observe and follow all posted caution signs during the work period.
• Only those residents whose vehicles are registered with a Town-issued beach parking permits are authorized to park in the remaining available, non-metered spaces.
• Alternative nearby beach access and parking is available at Folly Field and Driessen Beach parks, and the Burkes Beach Road access.
