Town Neck Beach Fill Area

A slide from a recent PowerPoint presentation shows where sand needs to be deposited along Town Neck Beach.

Sandwich Town Manager George H. (Bud) Dunham informed selectmen two weeks ago that the US Army Corps of Engineers’ North Atlantic Division has agreed, verbally, that the stone jetties at the mouth of the Cape Cod Canal have diverted sand from Sandwich’s shore and that the Corps should renourish Town Neck Beach with $12.5 million worth of sand.

The approval by the Corps’ North Atlantic Division must still be put into writing, be subject to public hearings, and approved by Army Corps officials in Washington, DC, as part of a so-called Section 111 study.
