Myrtle Beach renourishment program has begun.

The machines are in place and the pipes are being laid to start the Myrtle Beach section of the beach renourishment program.

The Army Corps of Engineers has finally started on the Myrtle Beach phase.

Over the next few days, workers will pump sand from the ocean floor onto the beaches.

Work crews started in the north end of the Grand Strand a few weeks ago and have been slowly moving south.

Myrtle Beach residents and business owners are glad the renourishment project has started after the Sea Turtle's eggs have hatched from the local beaches and the tourist season ended.
