Inlet channel dredging continues, beach placement set to begin

Dredge pipe has been moved to the south side of the inlet for pumping sand to the south beaches at Sebastian Inlet State Park.

Posted on January 29, 2026

Dredging continues  in Sebastian Inlet. Boaters: please be aware of dredge pipes and related equipment.

Our contractor, ATL Diversified, Inc., is hydraulically dredging beach-compatible sand from a designated sand trap and adjacent inlet navigation channel within Sebastian Inlet.

ATL is pumping non-compatible beach material through pipes to a dredged material storage facility on the north side of the inlet. Boaters, please observe markers and signs indicating submerged pipe stretching across the inlet channel.  Dredge pipes have been relocated to the south side of the state park so that ATL may begin  pumping beach-compatible sand to the south side of the inlet (from the Sebastian Inlet State Park day use beach access south to McClarty Treasure Museum.

Park visitors, please be mindful of the pipes and booster pumps that will be located on the south side of the state park as work ramps up in February. Please avoid all heavy equipment and active construction areas for your safety.

This work is a continuation of dredging that began in spring 2025 but was paused to ensure the safety of turtles and their nests during sea turtle nesting season.

We will share more information as the project progresses. For more information, contact the District’s Public Information Associate, Ed Garland at egarland@sitd.us or call the District’s Indialantic office at 321 724-5175.
