Members of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District, meet with City of North Myrtle Beach representatives during a site visit of the Grand Strand Renourishment project in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Jan. 22, 2026. In December 2024, the Charleston District awarded a contract to Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company to place approximately two million cubic yards of sand—equivalent to 200,000 dump trucks—along 26 miles of Myrtle Beach. Construction began on the northern end of North Myrtle Beach in December 2025. The $72 million project is fully funded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and will help reduce risk to life and protect infrastructure behind the dunes along the Grand Strand. The project has proven effective during recent storm events, including Hurricane Ian in September 2022 and Hurricane Debby in August 2024, by limiting erosion and damage to developed areas.
