Beach Renourishment Project Update 9 - Pine Island Construction

October 4, 2025

This Week's Progress (September 27 - October 3)

Marinex Construction began pumping sand on the Pine Island beach in Hilton Head Plantation last Thursday. However, on Saturday, beach renourishment work was paused due to Tropical Storm Imelda. Adverse weather and ocean conditions from the storm made it necessary to halt operations to ensure the safety of the construction crew.

Looking Ahead (October 4-10)

The Marinex crew anticipates resuming work on Pine Island beach once it is safe to do so. During the sand placement work, the entire beach will be closed. The public is advised to observe and follow all posted caution and closure signs.

Crews plan to return to Fish Haul the week of October 6, 2025 to till the newly placed sand. The beach will remain open while this final work is completed.
