August 9, 2026: Sand-pumping operations remain to the south of the Ocean City Music Pier on Sunday morning. The beach entrances at Sixth Street, Seventh Street and Plymouth Place are open with access to newly rebuilt beaches, including guarded swimming areas and a guarded surfing beach. The beach entrance at 10th Street is open with access to guarded swimming areas at 10th Street and 11th Street. Beaches in the work area at Eighth Street, Moorlyn Terrace and Ninth Street are closed.

In the first stage of the project, work is proceeding southward toward 12th Street. When that is complete, work will move northward toward Great Egg Harbor Inlet. Approximately 1,000 feet of beach (two blocks) surrounding the immediate work area will be closed to public access at any time. Sand-pumping operations will continue 24 hours a day for the duration of the project. Sand ramps will be constructed over the pipeline at all beach entrances as work progresses down the beach.

All projected timelines are subject to weather delays, equipment and logistics issues, and multiple other factors. Please check back regularly for updates.
