The city of Sanibel's beach renourishment project is underway at Lighthouse Beach Park.
According to the City of Sanibel, crews will start placing 105,000 tons of sand to strengthen the beach coastline and protect the Sanibel lighthouse.
This project is a part of the larger beach renourishment that happened earlier this year but was paused due to turtle nesting season.
The City of Sanibel says work is expected to be completed by mid-January:
Key points on the project from the City of Sanibel:
- Work will take place Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. No work will take place on Thursday and Friday of this week due to the Thanksgiving Holiday.
- The two Bayside Parking Lots remain OPEN while construction is underway.
- Crews will temporarily close portions of the beach to the public while placing sand.
- For your safety, please follow all signage and verbal instructions provided by the parking lot and beach attendants. Stay clear of equipment and construction areas.
