Sandy Neck Beach Improvements- UPDATE
The Town of Barnstable and its contractor, Robert B. Our, continues construction of the Sandy Neck Beach Long-Term Coastal Resiliency Project.
To safely facilitate the next phase of work, all parking areas and connecting roads will be closed Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This includes all trails past the gatehouse.
Visitors are asked to plan accordingly. Signage and staff will be onsite to assist. Construction will continue to progress in phases through Spring 2026, with the project anticipated to be completed in time for the Summer 2026 season. Future construction activities and associated impacts will be communicated separately as schedules are confirmed.
This multi-phase project aims to protect Barnstable’s only public beach on Cape Cod Bay from erosion, dune loss, and flooding by relocating vulnerable infrastructure, reinforcing dunes, and safeguarding public access for decades to come. The project has been made possible through strong state and local partnerships, including funding support from the Massachusetts Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Action Grant and the Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Coastal Resilience Grant.
