Gloucester Point Beach Update Gloucester County was recently selected as the recipient of a $2.4 million grant by the Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR). This grant will allow for the construction of a living shoreline and beach restoration project at Gloucester Point Beach Park. Significant erosion has occurred at this site over the years, and this grant is the first step in the county revitalizing and creating a more resilient beach. This site sees over 150,000 guests annually, and is the only publicly accessible beach in Gloucester. The Middle Peninsula Planning District Commission will oversee this grant on behalf of the County.
