Beach Renourishment Phase I Project Update 14

Construction activities at Pine Island, Port Royal and Islanders Beach Park

November 7, 2025

This Week's Progress (November 1-7, 2025)

Marinex Construction:

• Relocated the final pieces of their equipment from Pine Island to Islanders Beach, providing them access for renourishment activities along the Port Royal Sound shoreline.
• Started installing a submerged pipeline from the dredge area to the Port Royal Sound shoreline.

Cape Romain Contractors brought truckloads of rocks to Pine Island Beach where they will build breakwater structures. It will take several months to complete this part of the project. Pine Island Beach will remain closed during this phase.

Looking Ahead (November 8-14, 2025)

Marinex Construction expects to start pumping sand onto the beach along the Port Royal Sound this weekend.

Cape Romain Contractors will continue working on the breakwater structures at Pine Island Beach.

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 signs during the work period.
• Only those residents whose vehicles are registered with a Town-issued beach parking permit 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.
