The sand replenishment project has finally reached Cape Story By The Sea.
The planned beach replenishment project by the Army Corps of Engineers and City of Virginia Beach experienced a major setback due to the November 2009 Nor'easter storm. Tons of existing beach sand was taken during three days of pounding. This week there has been much activity on the beach as crews haul sand from the dredge spoil site at the south end of Maple Street, to the beach access at Oak Street.
The sand is then being hauled down the beach by several large dump trucks and the spread around with bulldozers and graders.

The city plans on rebuilding the Sandalwood access ramp this Spring. Hopefully we will be back to business as usual at this wonderful beach.
