Myrtle Beach renourished 2007

Garden City Beach and Surfside Beach are the first to get new sand, with the rest of the county's shoreline to be replenished over the coming year.
Dredges are scraping up sand from about 3 miles offshore, then pumping it onto the beach, where it drains for a bit before being smoothed and shaped by bulldozers.
Horry County's beaches were last renourished 10 years ago.
Ten years ago, the work cost $54 million. It is expected to cost at least that much this time around. Corps Maj. Bryan Pratt of the Charleston District said the agency is committed to maintaining the beaches through 2046, adding to them every eight years.

3 million cubic yards of sand will be distributed along the Grand Strand.
Garden City Beach-Surfside Beach 750,000 cubic yards on 7.7 miles
Myrtle Beach 1.5 million cubic yards on 9 miles
North Myrtle Beach 750,000 cubic yards on 8.6 miles The sand, if piled on a football field, would rise as high as the Empire State Building.
