Twelfth Street Beach and all beaches to the south are open with guarded swimming areas. The beach in the work area at 11th Street is closed. The beach at Stenton Place is 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.
