Jamaica Beach nourishment project starting next week

Jamaica Beach Nourishment Project will begin next week with the delivery of equipment and installation of signage.

According to the City of Jamaica Beach, sand delivery is set to start on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at the far west side of the beach. Weather conditions may affect the project timeline.

The work, originally scheduled to begin in Fall 2024, was delayed by the General Land Office (GLO) and contractors due to shortage of materials needed to begin the project.

The project, split in two phases, will kick off west of Buccaneer. Once work on the west side is complete, crews will shift east of Buccaneer.

The Jamaica Beach nourishment project is expected to continue through summer 2025.
