If beach nourishment is active in your area during your vacation, here's what to expect:
- Large parallel pipelines running across beach for sand pumping, with sand ramps for ease of crossing to the ocean.
- Presence of bulldozers and excavators, however, work areas will be marked off from a great distance to not allow interference with work.
Beach nourishment is a necessary procedure that occurs every few years to maintain the beaches of our island, protecting our ocean-front houses and businesses.
If you have any questions or concerns about beach nourishment, please don't hesitate to Email Cove Realty at [email protected].
We greatly appreciate your understanding in keeping our beaches great and we look forward to a fantastic season!
