Recently, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Charleston District announced the schedule and starting location for the upcoming Beach Renourishment project. Work will begin in the City of North Myrtle Beach in December 2025, followed by the City of Myrtle Beach in February 2026, and will conclude in Garden City and Surfside Beach starting April 2026. This timeline is subject to change due to weather conditions or equipment delays. With this schedule, the renourishment will avoid taking place during peak hurricane season and complete on schedule. In December 2024, the Charleston District awarded a $72 million contract to Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company to place two million cubic yards of sand—equivalent to approximately 200,000 dump trucks—along 26 miles of coastline. This renourishment effort is fully funded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and is designed to reduce risk to life and infrastructure behind the dunes along the Grand Strand. BEACH RENOURISHMENT I
