The beach closures have been pushed back two weeks to September 25th. According to a message from the Town of Cape Charles, the contractor is delaying its need to close the beach by two weeks.
The full message and details are published below:
The Town attended a pre-construction meeting for the Kings Creek Dredging project with the contractor (Michels Construction), Northampton County, and the A-NPDC (Accomack-Northampton Planning District Commission). The contractor informed us that they were able to revise their initial mobilization staging area, delaying their need to access the public beach by two weeks. Therefore, the first partial beach closure required for this project will now begin on September 25th.
This initial area of closure will include all areas north of the Madison Avenue entrance. For safety reasons, only authorized personnel will be permitted within the work zones. Note that as the project proceeds, the closed area will continue to grow and move south. The town will provide additional notices as the project area expands.
Residents and visitors are free to continue normal use of all beach areas that remain open.

Explain - what was better back then and what is bothering you about now. Be specific.
Damn shame what you people have done to Cape Charles.
Common sense is often overruled by profits, commericial interests, cart rentals, etc. The town must also "appear" to be "concerned"…
If they had any common sense, they would know that golf carts belong on golf courses.
You're right Thomas. The developers and their "friends" are cashing in and pretty much control the future of the Shore.
