Project Overview

Pinellas County completed a nourishment of Pass-a-Grille beach that was performed in phases. During the first phase, between 5,000 and 10,000 cubic yards of sand from the Grand Canal project was placed between 1st Avenue and 6th Avenue.

To fully nourish and restore Pass-a-Grille Beach, the County sought and received authorization from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to place an additional 140,000 cubic yards of sand from Pass-a-Grille Inlet between 1st Avenue and 22nd Avenue. This phase was divided into two sections. In the first section, sand was placed from 1st Avenue to 9th Avenue. For the second section, sand was placed from 10th Avenue to 22nd Avenue.
