Beach Renourishment Phases 1 & 2 Project Update 21

Construction activities at Port Royal and Singleton Beach areas

January 2, 2026

This Week's Progress (December 29-January 2)

Marinex Construction began pumping sand in the central part of the island and onto the beach in the Singleton Beach area this week after a brief holiday respite. The work will continue to progress southward as the weather permits. 

Cape Romain Contractors paused work for the holidays and will resume operations January 3, 2026.

Looking Ahead (January 2- 9)

Marinex Construction will continue work in the Port Royal and Singleton Beach areas.

Cape Romain Contractors will resume work on the breakwater structures at Pine Island Beach, weather permitting. This project will take several months to finish. Pine Island Beach remains closed during this phase.

Early January 2026

The beach tilling at Fish Haul and the Heel will commence in early January. Once the tilling is complete, the sidewalk will be repaired at Fish Haul. Once that is done the project at these portions of the beach will be complete.

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.
