Beach Replenishment Project
Every year, the Atlantic City beach takes a beating from the tides of the great Atlantic Ocean, and little by little the beaches are washed away. Without sand on the beach, what would the beachgoers do? Well, if it wasn’t for the 2003 Beach Replenishment Project, there may not have been much of a beach to enjoy today. The $24 million Absecon Island Shore Protection Project included sand replenishment in both Ventnor and Atlantic City and calls for sand replenishment every 3 years for the next 50 years. This allows Atlantic City beachgoers to enjoy a beach that is always at least 200-feet wide.
